Below is the "postconf -n" output. Kindly cc me on any replies as I have "digest mode" on or unless someone can remind me how to turn off digest mode temporarily:

Also note that the email is being sent to an IP that can failover i.e., it's a virtual IP address, not the hostname itself if that makes a difference.

What does the "*" mean. I also noticed "!" next to held jobs. Is there somewhere these special characters and/or what queue these messages are on? Regards, Troy Hi troy, postqueue -p will show you what is in your queue see " man mailq " postqueue -f will flush the queue the asterisk to summarize means postfix knows about it and it waiting to send it. delivery to the local machine ? check local recipient maps or mail transport. Alias maps should also be checked. postconf -d | grep local postconf -d | grep mail_transport post the results back to list. -j
