Just think about it: I have over 4,000 members and have never had any issues. Many use their own domains, and everything has run smoothly so far. If you really want to secure your server, you can't do without Cloudflare. It prevents DDoS attacks and much more. The free version of Cloudflare is perfectly adequate for this. For years, online scammers (which is the topic of my forum) tried to take my site down—sometimes for weeks at a time. It’s only been quiet since I started routing my server through Cloudflare. However, I don't route everything. I only route the nameservers, the mail server, and, of course, the DNS. Turnstile is integrated, and I can toggle the DDoS protection on whenever I might need it again. All of this secures the server very effectively and doesn't cost me a penny. What MXToolbox displays here doesn't reflect reality. if (idea == 'none') {use (manuals) && (Google | | search)}if ($ answer == 0) {post (question)} IP Logged

It identifies itself as localhost.localdomain instead of its real public domain name. Spam Protection: Postfix blocks servers with fake or generic HELO names to stop spam and automated bots. Temporary Reject: The 450 code is a soft reject. If it is a real mail server with a temporary glitch, it will fix the setting and resend the email later. you need to check your mailserver hostname this is how it should go with proper hostname Aug 14 17:23:40 alma postfix/qmgr[1582]: 3131C1800AA6C: removed Aug 14 17:23:40 alma postfix/local[94982]: 3131C1800AA6C: to=<serv@alma.1server.nz>, orig_to=<root@yabb.nz>, relay=local, delay=59, delays=59/0/0/0, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to mailbox) Aug 14 17:23:40 alma MailWatch SQL[4061]: MailWatch SQL[4061]: 57CBC18004CE2.A76F2: Logged to MailWatch SQL Aug 14 17:23:40 alma MailScanner[5056]: "Always Looked Up Last" took 0.00 seconds Aug 14 17:23:40 alma MailScanner[5056]: MailWatch: Logging message 57CBC18004CE2.A76F2 to SQL Aug 14 17:23:40 alma MailScanner[5056]: Batch (1 message) processed in 4.90 seconds Aug 14 17:23:40 alma MailScanner[5056]: Batch completed at 950 bytes per second (4653 / 4) Aug 14 17:23:40 alma MailScanner[5056]: Deleted 1 messages from processing-database Aug 14 17:23:40 alma MailScanner[5056]: Virus Processing completed at 80509 bytes per second Aug 14 17:23:40 alma postfix/qmgr[1582]: 3131C1800AA6C: from=<yabber@host.dandello.net>, size=3504, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Aug 14 17:23:40 alma MailScanner[5056]: Uninfected: Delivered 1 messages Aug 14 17:23:40 alma MailScanner[5056]: Requeue: 57CBC18004CE2.A76F2 to 3131C1800AA6C Aug 14 17:23:40 alma MailScanner[5056]: Spam Checks completed at 973 bytes per second Aug 14 17:23:35 alma MailScanner[5056]: MailWatch: Read 136 blocklist entries Aug 14 17:23:35 alma MailScanner[5056]: MailWatch: Starting up MailWatch SQL Blocklist Aug 14 17:23:35 alma MailScanner[5056]: MailWatch: Blocklist refresh time reached Aug 14 17:23:35 alma MailScanner[5056]: Expired 3 records from the SpamAssassin cache Aug 14 17:23:35 alma MailScanner[5056]: Spam Checks: Starting Aug 14 17:23:35 alma MailScanner[5056]: Virus Scanning completed at 78020 bytes per second Aug 14 17:23:35 alma MailScanner[5056]: Virus and Content Scanning: Starting Aug 14 17:23:35 alma MailScanner[5056]: New Batch: Scanning 1 messages, 4653 bytes Aug 14 17:22:43 alma postfix/smtpd[94295]: disconnect from host.dandello.net[67.222.16.122] ehlo=2 starttls=1 mail=1 rcpt=1 data=1 quit=1 commands=7 Aug 14 17:22:43 alma opendkim[1476]: 57CBC18004CE2: DKIM verification successful Aug 14 17:22:43 alma opendkim[1476]: 57CBC18004CE2: not authenticated Aug 14 17:22:43 alma opendkim[1476]: 57CBC18004CE2: host.dandello.net [67.222.16.122] not internal Aug 14 17:22:43 alma postfix/cleanup[94305]: 57CBC18004CE2: message-id=<E1wukNM-0000000Ac59-0RH1@host.dandello.net> Aug 14 17:22:43 alma postfix/cleanup[94305]: 57CBC18004CE2: hold: header Received: from host.dandello.net (host.dandello.net [67.222.16.122])??by alma.1server.nz (Postfix) with ESMTPS id 57CBC18004CE2??for <root@yabb.nz>; Fri, 14 Aug 2026 17:22:41 +1200 (NZST) from host.dandello.net[67.222.16.122]; from=<yabber@host.dandello.net> to=<root@yabb.nz> proto=ESMTP helo=<host.dandello.net> Aug 14 17:22:43 alma postfix/smtpd[94295]: 57CBC18004CE2: client=host.dandello.net[67.222.16.122] Aug 14 17:22:41 alma postfix/smtpd[94295]: Anonymous TLS connection established from host.dandello.net[67.222.16.122]: TLSv1.3 with cipher TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 (256/256 bits) key-exchange X25519 server-signature ECDSA (P-256) server-digest SHA256 Aug 14 17:22:40 alma postfix/smtpd[94295]: connect from host.dandello.net[67.222.16.122] WWW IP Logged

As soon as I have time—which should be in the next few days—I’ll install your version and take a close look at it. The two German language versions you’ve installed are outdated; I had already updated the help files to version 2.7, so I’ll need to revert those changes first. The naming convention has shifted from "Deutsch_Du" and "Deutsch" to "formal" and "informal." But more on that later.
