Package: postfix Version: 3.1.3-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I have configured postfix to use a specific IP address specified with
inet_interfaces in main.cf. However, when the server boots postfix does
not start properly and I see this in the logs:
Nov 11 21:07:27 mail postmulti[103]: fatal: parameter
inet_interfaces: no local interface found for 172.20.2.61
If I log in and restart the postfix service, it starts up just fine.
Additionally, if I set inet_interfaces to "all" in main.cf, postfix
starts fine at boot time.
I am using systemd for the server's init, but am not too familiar with
troubleshooting the ordering of services starting up. I did find a
Fedora bug report that might be similar at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1116538 and tried adjusting
the Requires and After targets as suggested in that report, but it
didn't solve my issue.
Previously I had been running postfix on a jessie/systemd server with
the same configuration and it worked properly.
Thanks,
Mathias
