Do you mean I should be searching for a previous error ? Can you direct me to the proper log files ? Or do I have to first activate some diagnose switch somewhere ? > Then, Courier will reject all further > deliveries to the same recipient with either a 456 or a 556, dependening > on the circumstances, for some period of time. This explains some of the delays I am experiencing (mail arriving between a few hours and several days after being first submitted). But that would mean the "link" between the two servers is working for some time and then failing for some time (time out then error 456) and working again (some mails arrive with a delay) etc. What could explain such a behaviour ? >> So this looks like a smtp problem but the link between omallet and miaou >> *is* also smtp.

And why does the catchall (and omallet local posts to cat) work perfectly, without delay, all the time ? Ok. What should I be watching then ? Port 25 on both sides ? And look for what ?
