DOH. Sorry folks, I forgot the magic rule: RTFM, and after that, google search your keywords. THEN, and only then, may you post innane questions to the forum.

Solution (thanks, google) - was hinted in the forum elsewhere.

-start the VZHost
-take note of problems clearly cropping up in /proc/user_beancounters as follows:

PROBLEM LAYER ONE:

420 cat /proc/user_beancounters
numothersock 4 80 80 80 81


So, increased this parameter as follwos:

419 vzctl 239 --numothersock 120 --save

-stopped and started my Vhost. Check Beancounters.

PROBLEM LAYER TWO:

426 cat /proc/user_beancounters

READS
othersockbuf 128788 133452 132096 336896 123


So, increased this parameter as follows:

428 vzctl set 239 --othersockbuf 512000 --save


-stop and start the Vhost. Check Beancounters. NO complaints obvious.

Enter the VZhost. Postfix is running. Send a test message. It gets out, postfix is happy.

Subsequently: I tweaked the postfix config such that my interfac e was specified as "localhost" (my preferred config, nobody outside of this virtual-box should be relaying mail or sending mail in for that matter)

This also works fine.

So, I'm happy.

Many thanks all Smile
