I've also checked in /var/spool/postfix/* and all directories are empty or have zero-length files with dates from the installation of postfix. And, now I think I've found the problem - in /var/log/maillog, I find the following: Sep 25 03:01:21 loki postfix/smtp[24894]: D92DB1A4C67: to=, relay=none, delay=0.12, delays=0.11/0.01/0/0, dsn=5.4.6, status=bounced (mail for loki.mycompany.com loops back to myself) All I have to do is figure this out, and I think I've got it. More research... Kurt
