Any idea when v1.1 will be released ? The mail_index_sync_update_index failure is happening about once a day, so we need to get something done about it.. Hmmm, maybe setting the postfix soft_bounce=yes (as suggested by Jasper Slits) will be an acceptable workaround for us, as I don't think these servers should ever need to bounce mail (other servers in front of them should be handeling that). -jf
