Thanks guys for your responses,
The test messages I've sent consists of only one line "test message".
I understand that the numbers I'm getting are pretty normal, but I've read
on the list one of Marks' responses and he says that most of check
*_restrictions should be disabled on smtpd at port 10025
(http://www.webservertalk.com/archive390-2006-2-1396006.html).
This is what I have in master.cf:
127.0.0.1:10025 inet n - n - - smtpd
-o content_filter=
-o local_recipient_maps=
-o relay_recipient_maps=
-o smtpd_restriction_classes=
-o smtpd_client_restrictions=
-o smtpd_helo_restrictions=
-o smtpd_sender_restrictions=
-o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject
-o mynetworks=127.0.0.0/8
-o strict_rfc821_envelopes=yes
-o smtpd_error_sleep_time=0
-o smtpd_soft_error_limit=1001
-o smtpd_hard_error_limit=1000
-o
receive_override_options=no_header_body_checks,no_unknown_recipient_checks
Should I disable the following restrictions, i.e. delete these lines to
improve fwd-connect timings? Is it safe to disable those?
-o smtpd_restriction_classes=
-o smtpd_client_restrictions=
-o smtpd_helo_restrictions=
-o smtpd_sender_restrictions=
-o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject

Leon Kolchinsky
