Hi Wietse, Let me start by saying thank you for this software!!
> Why are you running postmap every 5 seconds? I am not (as far as I know--well, clearly I am but I don't know why), at least not on purpose. I did not notice it myself until I started trying to debug this issue. The output you referred to is grepping "postfix" through a tail of the syslog file. When I try to send an email to the device (which is currently not being delivered, but that's in the other, upcoming,thread), this is what happens. It seems to serially spawn a bunch of postmap processes in response to one attempted delivery, (perhaps because of the db errors)? It could also have something to do with the issue in the thread I am about to post, but I doubt it. (postfix starts up with 4 ipv4 addresses.) When postfix starts, it has always seemed to start up about eight processes. I have not gotten to "tuning" yet. I am going for a very lean yet VERY secure implementation which can nevertheless handle gmail, etc. (Note: I am a C programmer, not an admin. This is all kind of foreign to me.) Thanks again!
