Yes, understood. I was more referring to having postfix better indicate what it was trying to do that caused the error, but I guess that's clear to me now that it was trying to change user IDs. >> # ps ax | grep master >> 14352 ? Ss 0:08 /usr/libexec/postfix/master >> 14368 ?

Yes, understood. I included that output more for completeness than anything else -- I just increased the maximum processes per user to 260 from 160. Thanks again, Alex
