Yes, but I am quite sure that this happen only after the first boot. In
clear, my mails will be queued until I flush the queue (using webmin),
and then, everything will be fine, no mail queued anymore, until the
next boot.

I don't touch this kind of stuff ;-)

I don't really know what you mean ... keep in mind that this is the
basic configuration of FC2. I don't think I have any "smart host" ;-)

Thanks a lot again to try to solve this with me.
