That looks pretty straightforward. I do things a bit different,
but that stems from me not running RHEL, not doing rbls in the
MTA (and a very very few in MS) .... and running my setup as a
pure MX/GW. I find having the mail-gateway and the mailstore
separate is good for my logics centres... A whole lot easier to
deduce _what_ should happen _where_:-)

Hm. I'll have to run some tests on this. In the mean time, what
happens if you set MS to run in debug mode _and_ with the 
procmail mailbox_command... This should run one batch through MS,
then stop. Does it get called for an incoming batch?

Ok, this is starting to make sense. I am pretty sure I
am using 1 postfix with the hold feature. That is why
I was so confused when I came upon directions for the
2 postfix server. I have my own howto file, that is a
collection of other howto files I have found. I posted
it online at: 

http://www.electricmonk.us/postfix-mailscanner/

maybe you could take a look and see if it was
something obvious. I put it on the webpage to keep
people from having to read all my conf files here. 

Thanks
Mike
