I am using Postfix on Ubuntu 12.04 hosted by AWS supporting a Drupal website with about 500 accounts. mailq shows many of the emails failing, at least initially, with "Connection timed out" or "Network os unreachable" errors. Most of the emails eventually get sent successfully, but as much as a day later. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Mark
Do you use dovecot or courier as imap and pop3 server? Post the error message(s) that you get in the mail log file when the problem occurs. The mail log file is in the folder /var/log/, it is named "mail.log" on Debian and Ubuntu
Srijan, Thanks for your response. I am using neither dovecot nor courier. Error from tail of mail.log attached. Thanks! Mark

This is driving me a bit crazy. The mail eventually does get sent out. As I was poking around to get the info above, I suddenly received 4 emails myself, one from four days ago. Wierd.
