i have installed this latest version but have backed up a previous database from which i had a few issues with different filed names etc, which i think i have resolved.
there was also a greylisting issue where it seemed the greylisting was not eventually letting mail through. i have disabled the greylisting for the time being.
any thoughts on what the sfp record is being rejected for just about everything?
