After I sent the other info I realised I hadn't done this part. Shock! /var/log/maillog has no entry since last Monday. Looking back to Logwatch covering Monday, I see --------------------- Postfix Begin ------------------------ 9 Miscellaneous warnings 1.841M Bytes accepted 1,930,000 1.841M Bytes delivered 1,930,000 ======== ================================================ 200 Accepted 93.46% 14 Rejected 6.54% -------- ------------------------------------------------ 214 Total 100.00% ======== ================================================ 14 Reject unknown user 100.00% -------- ------------------------------------------------ 14 Total Rejects 100.00% ======== ================================================ 160 Connections made 5 Connections lost 160 Disconnections 202 Removed from queue 140 Delivered 61 Sent via SMTP 1 Forwarded 2 Resent 3 Postfix start 3 Postfix stop 1 Postfix waiting to terminate ---------------------- Postfix End ------------------------- I assume that the 14 rejects are my attempts to get creativestitching's message out, as also is the restarting of postfix, but what about that "waiting to terminate"? I don't recall seeing that before. service postfix status postfix.service - LSB: start and stop postfix Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/postfix) Active: active (running) since Mon, 14 Nov 2011 13:44:11 +0000; 4 days ago Process: 1202 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/init.d/postfix start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/postfix.service ├ 1290 /usr/libexec/postfix/master ├ 1296 qmgr -l -t fifo -u └ 7298 pickup -l -t fifo -u Anne
