If you *refuse* to listen, then you're wasting your time here, and that of anyone else not lucky enough to skip your posts. Wildly incorrect theories about how Postfix works will get you nowhere. Watchdog timeouts protect against kernel bugs and DO NOT happen unless your kernel is buggy. If you have not configured ridiculously long smtp timeouts (more than 5 hours), watchdog timeouts can only happen if your kernel fails to honour the requested timeouts on Postfix I/O poll operations. The remote server IS NOT the problem. Further posts along the same lines are pointless, will be ignored, and may ultimately lead to termination of your list subscription. If you want help, post the output of "postconf -n" and system information (operating system and version, virtualization stack details, ...). Perhaps someone has had similar issues on a related system. -- Viktor.
