That is why 550 errors from qpsmtpd end up back at the original sender. dave > -----Original Message----- > From: Max Clark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, 29 November 2005 8:42 AM > To: David Beveridge > Cc: > Subject: Re: Amavisd-new to qpsmtpd > > David, > > Wouldn't that get me to the same situation I am trying to avoid where > the external postfix process is accepting and queueing more > email than > the qpsmtpd process can handle?
