Greetings
My Email Service is back! I am particularly grateful for the contributions of Aki, Nick and n4ch0. They provided clarity. I am also noticing better performance with this new approach when compared to the old/previous approach (LDA). It is amazing how the reputation of one's email server can drop within days of failed queries. I had to adjist Spamassassin's rules too. Thanks a lot Regards Onyeibo Sent with Proton Mail secure email.
