If the primary is up (starting). This is the problem.

Never. Probably, I have a bad configuration but I don't know where.

My zmailer.conf configuration is the same in both machines, but the
value for SELFADDRESSES= is null (nothing).

In this moment, I have mail in the secondary machine and this is the
mail -Q out.

nf2:~ # mailq
-Q                                                                
User 'nobody' not accepted to server 'localhost'; err='BAD USER OR
PASSWORD OR C
ONTACT ADDRESS'

what's the problem? 

Thanks for your help.
