Ok, Wietse so considering my example: 1) Jan 30 10:02:17 av5 postfix/smtp[10603]: C0AFB226F23: to=<recei...@domain.tld>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10026, delay=8.9, delays=1.3/0/0/7.7, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 95CEE226F30) 2) Jan 30 10:02:17 av5 postfix/smtp[5441]: 95CEE226F30: to=<recei...@domain.tld>, relay=server[xxx.yyy.zzz.uuu]:25, delay=0.11, delays=0.03/0.04/0.01/0.03, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 5C7951098002) and that: i) There are 7.7 seconds between the time that the Postfix SMTP client sends the MAIL FROM command to the filter, and the time that the filter sends the end-of-data reply to the Postfix SMTP client. ii) a=time from MAIL FROM until queue manager = 0.3 in 2) Indeed, I thought (wrong) that they was the same transmission (and I cannot justify it because there was an evident timing difference - 7.7 and 0.3). Instead, i) is the transmission from Postfix to the content filter, while ii) should be the reinjection of the message back to the "normal" MTA flow. Now is all clear. Thanks. rocsca
