In the Postfix "main.cf" file, the last entry wins. This is one of the reasons to use "postconf -n" and NOT what you think the correct entry is. The output of "postconf -n" shows what Postfix sees. To sum it up: Provide output from the postfinger tool. This can be found at http://ftp.wl0.org/SOURCES/postfinger. If the problem is SASL related, consider including the output from the saslfinger tool. This can be found at http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/saslfinger/. If the problem is about too much mail in the queue, consider including output from the qshape tool, as described in the QSHAPE_README file. If the problem is protocol related (connections time out, or an SMTP server complains about syntax errors etc.) consider recording a session with tcpdump, as described in the DEBUG_README document. -- Jerry dovecot.u...@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
