The difference is that turning on debug_peer_list changes the timing of Postfix SMTP client commands. If that has any observable effect then the content filter is buggy. You can "fix" your bug by setting /etc/postfix/main.cf: smtp_discard_ehlo_keywords=pipelining Here is proof: > ... relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10025, conn_use=4, delay=0.15, > delays=0.15/0/0/0, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (221 bye) The Postfix SMTP client sends <CR><LF>.<CR><LF>QUIT<CR><LF> and expects that the client replies with 250 (the expected reply to "end-of-data). Your filter replies with "221 bye" which is the expected reply to the QUIT command. In other words the filter does not correctly implement SMTP command pipelining. Wietse
