Smarthost being ignored

Hey folks,
Had my Kolab 2.2 up and running for quite some time but all
of a  
sudden it has decided it wants to ignore the
smarthost/relayhost I  
have given it and send mail out directly. I'm on a dynamic
IP and so  
this is a big no no, hence why I gave it my ISP's smtp box
as a  
smarthost. All was working fine until about two weeks ago.
Finally got  
round to looking at it today and am stumped - in the web
admin portion  
the option is there for it to use smtp.myisp.com and I can
hand roll  
messages thru this server so am not being blocked - indeed
the sample  
bouncebacks I get when trying to send mail indicate that it
is not  
even trying to use the smarthost, despite the relayhost
directive  
being defined correctly in my postfix/main.cf.
Anyone any clues as to why this is maybe happening?
Cheers in advance

Si.

You should have "[smtp.myisp.com]"  in
postfix/main.cf,
not "smtp.myisp.com".

# man 5 transport
to know what [] does

Thanks for getting back to me - this was already the case
but I now  
have a much more far reaching issue which I feel may have
been the  
issue all along. When I log in to the manager (post a reboot
earlier)  
I get the message 'Could not bind to LDAP server: Can't
contact LDAP  
server'
Did a lookup on this and was advised to run a repair of LDAP
 
(db_recover -h) and to restart the service. I put the
verbose flag  
onthe repair so I could see if it was actually doing
anything ( I just  
guessed that the database to be repaired was openldap-data)
and it  
seemed to repair but when I try to restart openldap I get
:-
openpkg:rc:WARNING: /kolab:openldap:%start: failed with
return code 1
openpkg:rc:NOTICE: no output occurred on stdout/stderr

...and obviously it doesn't start. Very confused here as to
how/why  
this could have happened and also intrigued as to how I can
get this  
fixed.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Cheers
Si

An error in the ldap configuration file could also prevent
the service to start

start openldap manualy using

# /kolab/libexec/openldap/slapd -d 1

If the error message is unclear try using 2, then 3, then 4,
then 5
until you get something you can understand.

Look the kolab's wiki for interesting information about how
to deal with ldap.

MAKE A DAILY BACKUP (AND KEEP SOME ARCHIVE OF THEM)
OF YOUR CRITICAL DATA. (I put this in upercase because this
is important 
and so easy, look the wiki)
