Glad you got it fixed. I just wanted to say that it was Greg Wooledge
who first correctly said that it was probably systemd restrictions, and
all I did was agree that it was very likely and which restriction it
would be. 😀

I still don't actually understand how the mail delivery part of postfix
inherits the systemd restrictions of the process *submitting* the mail
(monit), but that's probably because I'm not a user of postfix. It's
clearly what is happening.

Thanks,
Andy
