Well... fetchmail complains of no connection, and Pine as well, if I 
happen to try to send in that precise minute. I would say that Postfix is 
involved, but of course, it could be amavis, or even the network stack or 
firewall.

Yes, I thought of that. But that would throw tons of debug info: it 
doesn't happen every day, and only on the first email from that provider, 
an on the first run. That is, once a day at most.

I'd have to be ready to change it back fast.

I'll think it over... might be worth trying, for knowledge sake.

I'm not sure, but I think not. I'll have to wait till the next time it 
happens.

Yes; but I prefer to wait for SuSE 9.2, which I will install before the 
month ends, I hope.
