====
After update my server (debian jessie) and iredmail according to upgrade notes i have strange behavior from postfix.
If i connect and start mass emailing to our customers or employes and there will be a wrong email address from our domain (removed mailbox) postfix now disconnect, not only reject

Oct 01 12:21:47 mail postfix/smtpd[1342]: connect from host[ip]
Oct 01 12:21:47 mail postfix/smtpd[1342]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from host[ip]: 550 5.1.1 <ludmila@ricom.ru>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table; from=<morsov@ricom.ru> to=<wronguser@domain.tld> proto=ESMTP helo=<localhost>
Oct 01 12:21:47 mail postfix/smtpd[1342]: too many errors after RCPT from host[ip]
Oct 01 12:21:47 mail postfix/smtpd[1342]: disconnect from host[ip]

Here is log when i just try to send one email to one wrong person and it's "too many errors". I cant figure out where it get too many error for one email?

iredmail 0.9.8
debian 8.11 (jessie)
backend mysql
apache
no  iRedAdmin-Pro

Re: Postfix disconnect allways if unknown user RCPT

Hello. Yes, it' said too many errors but why it's says like that just on one unknown address? As i understand one wrong email is one error, not many? And before i'v upgraded (both my sistem and iredmail) it' did not disconnect right after one unknown user in rctp. as i understand postfix drop connection after reaching smtpd_hard_error_limit that is default oin my system and as i understand = 20. So how one unknown email may lead to hit hard limit ?

I suggest turn on debug mode in Postfix to get more detailed log for troubleshooting.
