Hi Sahil, Sorry for my delayed response. I work in DEVOPS and we have had a crazy release schedule!
I ran "postfix set-permissions" as root and did not see anything following - just sent me to the next line. I was working with another group within our company that uses Postfix just for relay purposes and they noticed that in my /etc/postfix/master.cf - the pickup process in the "never" column was set to a default of "60". I changed this value to "1" and noticed that my e-mails are now sending out almost instantly - instead of the long delay. I do still see the error "warning: unable to look up public/pickup: Permission denied" - but it doesn't seem to be affecting the overall delivery of the mail. I was reading online elsewhere about this error and saw that it could be just a red herring and nothing really to worry about. If you have any other suggestions on getting rid of that message, it would be appreciated. Otherwise, I am happy with the performance now. Thanks again for your help! :) -- View this message in context: http://postfix.1071664.n5.nabble.com/20-40-second-delays-Is-this-normal-tp65951p66115.html Sent from the Postfix Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
