Useles without logs. Show logging that demonstrates:
- Postfix processing a 500 recipient message in a way that you
find acceptable.
- Postfix processing a 501 recipient message in a way that you
find problematic.
Show all log entries related to each event, not just smtpd logs, but
also related cleanup, qmgr, and delivery agent logs.
Post the configuration used at the time the logs were capture along with
the logs, restart Postfix prior to the test.
