Can you tell me how to check on these problems, please. Our list has 
just moved to our own server, so I have some input on this. But I 
know nothing about configuring or troubleshooting Postfix, which is 
the outbound mailer we use. If you can point me in the right 
direction, I can talk intelligently to the folk on our team who are 
the Postfix gurus.
