Aug 29 16:22 the enclosure dropped again despite the new cable, pool
suspended, and ZED sent nothing (suspended pools keep the vdev ONLINE;
data-class events were muted). Enclosure replacement is now the prime
candidate and a gate before the pool hosts the ks4 off-site leg.

The metadata/file errors were artefacts of the interrupted writes, not
corruption. The 2.5h scrub doubled as a soak test of the new cable.

Records the working chain and the two dead ends: port 25 gets the mail
rspamd-rejected (dynamic home IP, no SPF alignment), and the missing
PTR delays the 587 greeting enough that short-timeout probes look like
a firewall block. Credentials live only in /etc/msmtprc (600).

Nightly replication had been failing since Aug 17 behind a misleading
incus error; root cause is a JMicron USB bridge dropping off the bus
(61 disconnects in 30 days) and suspending the pool — the disk itself
is SMART-clean. Records the recovery (clear/scrub), the damage, the
ordered fixes, and why nothing alerted: zed was running without an MTA
on the host.
