I'm running postfix-2.5.2 on what is now Slackware-12.2. Had the system crash a week ago and, with udev and mkinitrd issues, it took until yesterday afternoon to get it back up and working properly. But, two issues mail are still to be resolved, and I need some advice on how to resolve them.
1) I run alpine on this box and now sending a message takes 10+ seconds rather than almost-instantaneous completion. Same alpine version as before the crash and restoration. I've no idea where to start looking for the problem. 2) My wife uses thunderchicken as her MUA on her laptop running Xubuntu. She connects to the network wirelessly and her incoming mail sits in /var/spool/mail/<her_username> until the MUA collects it. Since the MTA came /back yesterday she can send mail to me (within our network), but cannot retrieve pending messages. /var/log/maillog shows, for example, Jan 24 04:53:31 salmo qpopper[29179]: pamela at wap.appl-ecosys.com (192.168.55.200): -ERR [SYS/PERM] Unable to process From lines (envelopes), change recognition modes or check for corrupted mail drop. Where do I start looking for this problem's source? TIA, Rich -- Richard B.
