Dear all,
Since I deployed my postfix server two weeks ago (after getting rid of good
ol' sendmail), it has two problems that I have failed to sort out.
1. From the time it got online, my uplink usage shot straight up to 100%!!
Before it used to hover between 40-70%. After monitoring it for a few days
and determining that this wasn't due to increased activity from my users, I
throttled it at the gateway. However, I am still interested to know why it
did it that way.
2. It has refused to send mails with attachments beyond 1 MB to any
destination.

I've googled and there are a number of references to this problem, but non has

Sorry for the long post. I will appreciate any help thrown my way.
Thank you all.
