Yes, and yes. That's the exact copy and paste from my mail log.

A WHILE back, I had a problem where anvil would pop up, and I googled the entry I received at the time, and the link was "If you don't use anvil, disable it in main.cf with anvil = (something)...

No, I really don't need / want anvil. My mail is sent to me from my primary MX. My firewall is configured to only allow mail traffic from a few IP's. So... really, no need for anvil. :)

I tried a few, they all return nothing..

D'oh. No, I'll change them.

Well, I really CAN if you want - however it breaks postfix (all mail is rejected), so I'd rather not. :)
