Hi Wietse, Apologies - I have VERY little Linux experience - all learned using Google trying to get this mail server spun up. I've figured out the hard way that a lot of my problems on getting this thing set up were permission related in some form..
I have ran the command you requested. Here is the output: [root new]# ls -ld / /var /var/spool /var/spool/postfix dr-xr-xr-x. 25 root root 4096 Mar 10 20:38 / drwxr-xr-x. 20 root root 4096 Jan 20 08:37 /var drwxr-xr-x. 13 root root 4096 Jan 20 08:35 /var/spool drwxr-xr-x. 16 root root 4096 Jan 22 02:50 /var/spool/postfix Thanks, Joey -- View this message in context: http://postfix.1071664.n5.nabble.com/20-40-second-delays-Is-this-normal-tp65951p66124.html Sent from the Postfix Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
