This is tangential to the topic. > normally mysql is rock stable and never down That's great, but: the OP's question is explicitly about how Postfix functions when MySQL *is* down. The answer to that question - as noted earlier - depends on which facet of Postfix is impacted, which in turn depends on the parameters/tables configured to query an SQL backend. -- Sahil Tandon
