That's interesting! Thank you. The FreeBSD server running those postfix is a virtual machine on top of VMWare ESXi, and running VMWare Tools. I'll try to get some support from VMWare (and FreeBSD users), but if someone here has an idea (vmware issue? bios tuning? freebsd tuning?...) I'd be happy to read about it. thanks, Patrick PRONIEWSKI -- Administrateur Système - SENTIER - Université Lumière Lyon 2
