Morning

Ok i missunderstod you and yestarday was not really my day.
I hope you accept my excuse.
Yes the postfix server works, I tested it with other VPN connections and 
large Mails so it cannot be the a problem of the postfix server.
I also checked the transfer of files to the fileserver.
Maybe its really a problem with the Memory of the M0n0 or the FlashCard,
hope it works with a new one. And the last option is the MTU story..
I will keep you up-to-date....
