The other side's mail server is not answering connections? Your connectivity is down? postfix is out for a coffee break? tail -f /var/log/maillog. postfix is quite verbose and you should be able to see the outgoing email with the reason why it hasn't been sent yet. also, mailq(1) will tell you if an email is deferred, and why, if I remember correctly. -- calm down, it's *only* ones and zeros. http://syscalltrack.sf.net/ http://vipe.technion.ac.il/~mulix/
