I cannot understand for the life of me why you're dicking around with this instead of dropping the hammer instantly on this situation... From the book of Sysadmin Rule #1: Use whatever _functional_ tool you have available _right now_ to stop network abuse. Learn to use other tools/methods for the same job _when you are not in crisis mode_. There is a bear knocking down your front door intent on eating you. Are you going to grab fork, then knife, then rolling pen, and realize none of them work, before grabbing the gun and shooting the bear? Taking this route makes you bear food... -- Stan

If a suggestion didn't do what you expect, you'll need to show evidence including "postconf -n" output and logging demonstrating the unwanted behavior, and what you expected to happen. http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail -- Noel Jones |
