You have a transport setting or FILTER action, ... that specifies [127.0.0.1]:<SPACE>10024 as a nexthop. The error report is from the smtp(8) delivery agent, which is trying to process the nexthop. > Port 10025 is stated in master.cf: The master.cf file is irrelevant. > And this is the content_filter line in main.cf: > > content_filter = smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024 This is a different port. > It must be related to the content filter settings I just added.

No, it is related to either an exising transport(5) nexthop or access(5) FILTER entry, or a past one recorded in a queue file (postsuper -r ALL could help). -- Viktor.
