Even if you don't have a problem it is probably best to follow "Reporting problems to postfix-users@postfix.org" <http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail> and use postfinger <http://ftp.wl0.org/SOURCES/postfinger> to create a summary of your install and LOG in case you want to show how something fails. If you combine that with a summary of what you want or where you got stuck, we will probably be able to help you quite good. What shouldn't be shown for security reasons? Don't post login names, passwords or SASL plaintext authentication strings unless you know they are dispensable. IP-addresses? If you cover them make sure you choose something that is consistent. p@rick -- [*] sys4 AG http://sys4.de, +49 (89) 30 90 46 64 Franziskanerstraße 15, 81669 München Sitz der Gesellschaft: München, Amtsgericht München: HRB 199263 Vorstand: Patrick Ben Koetter, Marc Schiffbauer Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Florian Kirstein
