hello mouss,

thanks a lot for your reply! sorry that i don't know about the standards
of this mailing list and supply the postconf -n without being asked ;-(

was my first post here ... but promise to do better the next time ;-)

about the SMTPD delay => it was indeed an error with the DNS!
the network card config pointed to a wrong nameserver ... therefore the
20-30 seconds delay.

since i updated the IP address to another working DNS postfix rocks like
usual ;-)

so ... sorry for the false alarm! it was just my own stupidity ....

king regards
beckmann
