I think that you should only see the attempt as a successful send. Are you logging successful sends? I would not expect any error as long as the delay is not so long that Postfix decides that it is never going to go. As long as the attempt succeeds within the timeout delay, Postfix considers i

You might want to take a look at what is in the queue. Flushing the queue means communicating with other mail servers and the reason that mail is in the queue is that it was "too hard" to deliver it the first time. A broken or overloaded remote could still be slow. Ron On 2020-10-26 6:07 a.m
