Re: Error in /var/log/maillog

I have noticed the following error message in /var/log/maillog
"lost input channel from xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx"
Should i be worried about this ?

It indicates that a client is connecting to your MTA and disconnecting
before completing the session - it's unlikely to be related to procmail
in any way.
I'm no expert on MTAs, but it might indicate someone probing for open
relays, or network problems, or a misconfiguration at one end or the
other.  You may get better answers asking on some list relating to your
MTA.

Hope that helps,
Martin
