I was just pointing out that 'smtp:[127.0.0.1]:10025' is the default value of both $forward_method and $notify_method. You asked why port 10025 was mentioned in master.cf, but not amavisd.conf -- that's why. When mail comes in to Postfix (from outside of your network) on port 25, it passes through the default instance of smtpd in your master.cf. In main.cf, you have configured the default smtpd to filter all mail through Amavis on port 10024: > content_filter = amavisfeed:[127.0.0.1]:10024 Once Amavis is done with the message, it hands the message back to Postfix via $forward_method, which defaults to 'smtp:[127.0.0.1]:10025'. Now, in master.cf, you have this "special" smtpd defined: > 127.0.0.1:10025 inet n - n - - smtpd The reason for the second smtpd is that all mail coming in on port 10025 will be coming from Amavis; you don't want to filter it again, because that would create a loop. This is why you override the content_filter property for the second smtpd in master.cf. The path that messages (from the outside) take looks like this: Outside -> Postfix (25) -> Amavis (10024) -> Postfix (10025) -> Delivery ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
