Unless you have the old config and log files, we can only make (likely false) assumptions, so it won't help here. Also, if that system is gone, you can't test assumptions by changing this or that. A dead end IMHO. > 2) On the current system, the main.cf content_filter configured for 10024 or > 10028 seems to be totally inert, Because mail gets caught by pickup before it has a chance to go through the content filter on port 10024. I don't know if this behavior can be changed (I'm thinking about filters vs milters ?). > not doing anything at all for mail received > from the outside.

These are handwritten notes I took when I was learning how e-mail works, it would be nice to have feedback on them ? http://imgur.com/a/Asyqr -- Yassine
