It says find more information in the server log, but it is not in /var/log/messages or /var/log/mail.err and nothing with lsof dovecot|grep log show anything to tail www:~ # dovecot -n # 2.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux

Sometimes it is the MUA that is poorly designed that causes this. Also, some lists set the "reply to" with the sender rather than the list. Further, some user agents have a separate "reply"
