Re: Problems with large queues after upgrade

Hello!

There is no important erros on the log files. I said postfix does not deliver them, it's not right. Postfix takes too long to deliver the messages. I have to downgrade postfix version do 2.2 again so it can deliver the mail in queue fast...

The mail flow in this servers is this way: imagine I have a domain xpto.com. when the mail arrives to postfix, it is delivered to IMSS so it can check the mail. It returns to postfix. Postfix has a transport list that says:

xpto.com smtp:mail.xpto.com:25

I have an internal DNS server on each postfix machine only for the zones of my domains (xpto.com),[1] because I have to do round robin for the several exchange servers on the local network.
So the internal MX record for xpto.com (mail.xpto.com) has several local IP addresses with them same weight.

This had to be configured this way cause IMSS for linux does not allow more than one delivery domain.

Thanks,
