出于某种原因，我们无法向我们的一位客户发送更大的电子邮件。小型电子邮件很好，但即使是带有 1MB 附件的消息也无法交付几个小时 - Postfix 日志不断填充status=deferred (conversation with customer***[IP***] timed out while sending message body)，但最终消息被发送。
客户正在使用“Microsoft ESMTP MAIL 服务，版本：6.0.3790.3959”（通过 telnet 到端口 25 检查），但我不确定这是否真的是收件人软件故障。我们可以毫无问题地向其他任何地方发送电子邮件。客户已确认其他人向他们发送邮件时没有此类问题。只有来自我们服务器的邮件似乎卡住了。
我已经尝试将我们的传出接口的 MTU 值降低到 1000 甚至 500。像这样或这样的其他地方表明存在一个罕见的问题，但没有解决方案或确认。
以下是向该客户发送典型消息过程的 Postfix 日志。（电子邮件地址替换为***，客户邮件服务器替换为customer***和ip***）
