Hi Philip,
Beside starting a daemon with -odqr (you were right, I don't start it
actually), I set 'queue_remote_domains = ! *.<mydomain>' in the
configuration file (Q1401 in FAQ). Eventually it queues outgoing mail but
after a long period. According to the logfile the message is deferred (-44).
Can it be that Bind is trying to resolve it somehow ? When I disable Bind or
ISDN, all messages get queued right away.
Kind regards,
Bart van Dommelen.
