Hi Noel, A follow-on question would be: Is there any way to configure less incoming mail and more outgoing mail? Thank you for your great insight.

In postfix/master.cf, comment out the "smtpd" line. If you wish to stop local mail submission via the "sendmail" command,=20 comment out the "pickup" service also. Then run "postfix reload" to commit the changes. Postfix will no longer accept new mail, but will continue filtering=20 existing mail through amavisd-new and will continue to deliver mail=20 normally. Clients that try to connect will get a "connection refused" and=20 should try again later. To disable network submission the line to comment out should look something=20 like: (note the "smtpd" with a "d" at the end) smtp inet n - n - - smtpd put a "#" at the beginning, so it looks like: #smtp inet n - n - - smtpd To disable local submission via the "sendmail" command, comment out: pickup fifo n - n 60 1 pickup Save the file and "postfix reload". After the queue clears, reverse the changes, and "postfix reload" again. --=20 Noel Jones=20 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
