    @IsThisThingOn : Thats what I thought, but man these disks are getting hammered, iowait sometimes at 65%! I'm running RAIDZ1, or RAIDZ2, but both seem to get so bogged down. Maybe mirror is the way to go?

    Then I've read all the posts about disabling services, running log2ram, etc, and while those might be viable "fixes," they aren't a solution. I'd rather go after the solution and not start tinkering with alternatives ya know?

    After battling to understand these settings myself, and then carefully reading the Postfix documentation over and over again, I conclude these are both very good settings to enable by default. 1. The first setting, "Reject Unknown Clients", does...
