I installed a gateway email appliance
yesterday.  Last night emails still worked but suddenly today I stopped
receiving them.
   
  I added this configuration to my Surgemail
server yesterday:
  > 1) add g_gateway
domain="grady.k12.ga.us" to="sophos.ip"
   > 2) add g_gateway_ifnot "sophos.ip"
   
  I don’t know how related it is but this morning
while looking through the gateway appliance logs I saw a lot of
deferred messages due to the following errors:
   
  Deferred:Host 10.0.0.6[10.0.0.6] refused to
talk to me: 550 Limit exceeded max_bad_to for ip exceeded 51>50
10.0.0.10 at 2011-02-23 07:46:37
   
  IP Address 10.0.0.6 is my mail server and
10.0.0.10 is my new gateway scanner.
   
  More recently I started seeing messages with:
  lost connection with 10.0.0.6[10.0.0.6] while
sending RCPT TO surgemail
   
  Any ideas???
