The error log is at 0 bytes. I have not overridden the Defaults.py which shows Defaults.py:MTA_ALIASES_STYLE = 'sendmail'. So I assume that means that sendmail is the MTA.

There are a few bounces from time to time, but not on great frequency. I did send an email to a test list, and attempted to time when I would see my email address in the post log, but after 10 minutes I have not seen it. This really confuses me, because the mail system on this server delivers mail directly to a mailbox in seconds.
