BTDT. They say it's not a distro specific issue. I don't know if I agree with them or not. But I am considering abandoning that distro. If Postfix people's experience was that the distro does not have such issues with Postfix, then it might be worthwhile pursuing that issue with them (the distro people) further. Quite possibly it is the person who makes the Postfix package not doing thing right with respect to either Postfix and/or Ubuntu. But I might also seek another distro. It has already been said here that I should run the latest version of Postfix. That would be compiling from source since the latest is not packaged in the distro. In general, that's not a problem. But it is to a certain degree a problem in some distros (and why this is, certainly is not a Postfix issue ... I have experienced the problem with other than Postfix). I'm just saying that so you know why I'm also looking away from Ubuntu (please do not assume I am asking you to fix those Ubuntu issues). How about simply, which distro various Postfix users are running? -- sHiFt HaPpEnS!
