I am getting errors like the above from my server. I've recently implemented monitoring of SMTP delivery and my monitor is telling my about this about once a day and it's happening on regular mail too. My postfwd.cf is only 8 lines long and the VM has 2 cores of a fairly recent AMD64 system with almost no load. There's no reason why postfwd should take any time. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages postfwd depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii libnet-dns-perl 0.81-2 ii libnet-server-perl 2.008-1 ii perl 5.20.2-3+deb8u4 postfwd recommends no packages. postfwd suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/default/postfwd changed: STARTUP=1 CONF=/etc/postfix/postfwd.cf INET=127.0.0.1 PORT=10040 RUNAS="postfw" ARGS="--summary=600 --cache=600 --cache-rdomain-only --cache-no-size --min_servers=2 --min_spare_servers=1 --max_spare_servers=3" -- no debconf information
