I have run a test upgrade to High Sierra and Postfix ran fine. I currently only use Postfix to relay mail generated by system services on the Macintosh to my external mail service. Postfix started fine and a test message was sent using the sendmail command which made it out.
Postfix version is the latest 3.2.3. However, due to the current Apple logging system, I build (make) Postfix on an older system running the final version of Mavericks (10.9.5) and then copy the build directory to the target system to run make upgrade. -- Larry Stone lston...@stonejongleux.com > On Oct 27, 2017, at 5:11 AM, sergio.pozzetti <ser...@pozzetti.com> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I use postfix to relay e-mail to a Google Account, which has been working > flawlessly up until now. > I'm running out of options here.
