Hi all,
Had a weird issue that has been puzzling me today.
There are now often times whereby the OTRS application is not able to connect to my mail server to fetch the mails.
The issue happened today and there were no changes made whatsover to the instance.
I checked the following:
1. password expiry of mailbox set to 'Never expire'
2. mail box credentials are correct
3. monitored the logs and sometimes OTRS manages to connect to mail server but more often than not, there is the error above.
4. monitored the performance load and it is normal - no overload on the processors
Any thoughts or other areas that i can check further?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Can't connect to is pretty easy to explain: it's an network issue. Can be DNS resolution or network connectivity.
First idea: run an mtr inside a screen session from your OTRS server to the mail server.

Hi Roy,
Thanks for the advice.
Checked and indeed there is high latency with occasional packet loss.
I've changed the mail configuration hostname to be the IP address to save one step on the DNS resolution.
Seems to be much better now!
The issue seems to point directly to one of the three mail servers that we are having and DNS is somehow resolving to the address of that particular mail server that OTRS is having an issue with the connection.
