The documentation for multiple instances clearly explains that the initial settings for a new instance of Postfix include "master_service_disable = inet". You need to remove this setting once the instance is fully configured if it is to be used to receive traffic via SMTP. > Second instance (postfix-out) > > inet_interfaces = 192.168.1.11 > master_service_disable = inet > multi_instance_enable = yes > multi_instance_name = postfix-out Do read the documentation carefully, there may be other issues you've overlooked. http://www.postfix.org/MULTI_INSTANCE_README.html -- Viktor.
