That's interesting. Testing this AM... Setting compatibility_level=2 doesn't reproduce the error message. Removing the compatibility_level entirely does reintroduce the error message (once per every inbound connection): fatal: in parameter smtpd_relay_restrictions or smtpd_recipient_restrictions, specify at least one working instance of: reject_unauth_destination, defer_unauth_destination, reject, defer, defer_if_permit or check_relay_domains The message is accurate as I do not have any instance of those settings in smtpd_recipient_restrictions, however I do have permit_auth_destination set. -Jim P.
