I think you might be trying to solve the wrong problem. Why queue mail for destinations that don't have MX records (typoed domain part, etc)? Better to return undeliverable to senders I would think. This is different than mail to domains that exist and do have MX records, but postfix cannot reach the MX for some reason. Did you change smtp_defer_if_no_mx_address_found from its default setting of 'no'? Maybe there is a reason to do this, but I don't see it. It will cause the problem you are describing. > delivery failure rather than issuing the 'postsuper -d queue_id'?
