I checked the log file with tail - /var/log/maillog. I monitored the log aas
I sent the other mail and there are literally no connection attempts from
the exchange server. I can telnet into the Postfix box and it delivers that
mail and I get the logwatch mails from the system everyday, no connection
attempts there either. I checked all the other logs as well with no luck.
