I don't know where both of you live, but can't you just grab a coffee and 
find out what it is that makes a mockery of any discussion between the two 
of you? Or why you can't seem to get along? Make sure the coffee isn't too 
hot so you can at least throw it at one another without getting any lawyer 
involved :-P

How hard would it be to just not feed the trolls, if you're so convinced 
Stan is one. He's not even trying to get on your nerves, and yet you take 
it personal.

I could have gone and *sigh* about Hadmuts not-so-polite last reply a few 
days ago, but I figured that wouldn't have helped anyone. Probably not 
even my ego.


Back on topic: there sems to be an issue that doesn't handle temporary 
failures properly (i.e., it should at least record the details of the 
failure in some logs). This may very well be related to a locally built 
Dovecot, or being unfamiliar with Postfix/Dovecot configuration, or both. 
You could try something like 'su' or 'sudo' to break the transactions into 
separate parts, to see what's generating the tempfail and why. Maybe we're 
missing some log entries right above the quoted postfix tempfail, that 
shows some non-null exit code.
