Thank you, Mark. SMTPHOST = 'localhost' in Defaults.py
The out/ queue is now clear and processing mail. I'll see how it goes. Thanks, again. On another note, what are thoughts about utilizing SpamAssasin or other spam software with Postfix and Mailman. It seems that a lot of the traffic that is going through the Mailman server is spam, quite a bit which is flagged and blocked by using RBLS in postfix smptd_recipient_restrictions. I am seeing upwards to 8,000 messages blocked every day. Is there a more efficient way to manage this without making it a full time job? :>) On Tue, May 14, 2013 at 9:43 AM, Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> wrote: > On 05/14/2013 09:28 AM, Christopher Adams wrote: > > > > Then, this morning, I read another post about dns lookups in Postfix > main.cf. > > A poster said that he modifed his smtpd_recipient_restrictions and put > > permit_mynetworks at the top.
