[Martin Hepworth]

Jan

OK looks good - don't need the sendmail2 setting....

I presume you've followed this guide...

http://wiki.mailscanner.info/doku.php?id=documentation:configuration:mta:pos
tfix:installation

when you installed?

Note in the Problems Or Errors section there's a little thing about how PF
2.2 handles it's queues regarding hashing (or not).
