Hi, Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
Postfix could not deliver the message appearantly because there is a firewall restriction stopping you from connecting to fiordland.ubuntu.com on port tcp:25. Some ISP's will block that. It is not a bug in postfix for that sake. You can confirm this by trying to connect to gmail-smtp- in.l.google.com:25. About the messages in syslog, there is something strange about your defer spool directory ownership settings. Usually the owner of /var/spool/postfix/* dirs are: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/spool/postfix # ls -la total 76 drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Aug 2 02:38 . drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Apr 24 20:54 .. drwx------ 2 postfix root 4096 Aug 29 22:56 active drwx------ 2 postfix root 4096 Nov 25 2005 bounce drwx------ 2 postfix root 4096 Nov 25 2005 corrupt drwx------ 17 postfix root 4096 Aug 16 01:10 defer drwx------ 17 postfix root 4096 Aug 16 01:10 deferred drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 29 22:40 etc drwx------ 2 postfix root 4096 Nov 25 2005 flush drwx------ 2 postfix root 4096 Nov 25 2005 hold drwx------ 2 postfix root 4096 Aug 29 22:56 incoming drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 29 22:40 lib drwx-wx--T 2 postfix postdrop 4096 Aug 29 22:56 maildrop drwxr-xr-x 2 postfix root 4096 May 17 21:39 pid drwx------ 2 postfix root 4096 Aug 29 22:40 private drwx--s--- 2 postfix postdrop 4096 Aug 29 22:40 public drwx------ 2 postfix root 4096 Nov 25 2005 saved drwx------ 2 postfix root 4096 Nov 25 2005 trace drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 25 2005 usr -- postfix + popcontest problem https://launchpad.net/bugs/57988 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
