I am not psychic, your description is to anecdotal to provide further
feedback.

- You obfuscate the domains and addresses
- You don't post "postconf -n" output
- You don't post verbose logging from the smtp delivery agent.

I can't help you further, and likely nobody else can. Also, try 2.2.11 or
at least compare the HISTORY files for the two releases to see if anything
relevant was changed.
