Doh. You got me on this one. Most probably none. This was just a shot in the
dark, kind of last resort try, after having tried

destination.host.name HOLD
net.wo.rk HOLD
ip.adr.es.s HOLD

without success.

I'm not really new to MTAs in general, I guess "* HOLD" and failing
to mention previous tries (as above) in a post to a superb mailing
list is what you get when your girlfriend urges you to hurry up and
you actually listen to her. :-)

I'm sorry, not failing to provide this additional information would
have saved one iteration.

At least the latter would prevent outgoing email from working.
I will try (and read) a little more, as now I have a little more time on
my hands, and until a solution is found use postsuper to move mail to
the hold queue.

Thanks for helping out (Wietse, too)!

Have a nice day,
