There's only a few stragglers left in the mail queue. If I do a >mailq command it comes back with around 600 messages. It would strike me as odd that the vast majority of messages are being passed no problem at all. This would lead me to suspect something further than the conf file.

You could run amavisd with logging set to 5... (generates about 3-400 lines an email) which would be definitive if you didn't have so many in the queue.


However it seems to me that if most messages are getting past there must be something about these that is causing the failure, perhaps the from or to addresses?

Kind regards
