Might I suggest that you also read the material available at: http://www.postfix.com/DEBUG_README.html It appears that this matter might be better addressed on the Postfix forum. In any case, please supply the following: 1) Output from the postfinger tool. This can be found at http://ftp.wl0.org/SOURCES/postfinger. 2) Output from the saslfinger tool. This can be found at http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/saslfinger/. -- Gerard ✌ gerard@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
