Topic: Postfix "Connection Refused" - Email Server can't send receive emails

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====

- Deployed with iRedMail Easy or the downloadable installer?
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version:
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL):
- Web server (Apache or Nginx):
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro?
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.

Hi

Last night the email server stopped to send or receive emails.
Emails that I sent still got synced from my email client to the iredmail server though. But they never made their way out from the email server.

I haven't done anything to the server. It just stopped tonight.

I am posting a large extract of the /var/log/maillog
It seems that a problem occurred for the first time 2:48 with this "max connection rate " and then at 3:30 with the "Connection refused".

I have no clue what is going on and I don't understand the current behaviour (syncing between clients and server works but no email coming in or going out).

I would be very grateful if someone would know what is going on.
Happy to send more logs!
