        My users and aliases are defined in a LDAP directory, so it could be a
problem with a timeout in the ldap search. But:

* Why the other server, with the same configuration and in the same
network than this, is not having this problem?

* Why my server stop working and it doesn't recover until I (manually)
restart postfix?. I can't believe that my ldap server respond slowly at
midnight.
