The following Postfix default settings may be relevant (with Postfix before 3.0 they look a little different but have the same effect). address_verify_poll_count = ${stress?{1}:{3}} smtpd_hard_error_limit = ${stress?{1}:{20}} You are either running Postfix under stress mode, or you have manually set the above parameters to their minimum in main.cf, causing the SMTP server to hang up after the first "error" and causing it not to wait for verify probes to complete. Do not ignore "STRESS" warnings in the mailoog file. Wietse
