Cabin would not pressurize. Air coming in on lower l-hand corner of aft galley door. Called cockpit. Returned to bos. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated that the captain said the aft galley door leak had nothing to do with the fact that they were unable to pressurize the cabin. When they turned right around to go back to boston, they didn't dump fuel and landed heavy. The flight canceled, and the plane was taken OTS right away.
