Package: postfix Version: 3.1.8-0+deb9u1 Debian: stretch
Hello, While booting, the postfix systemd generator /lib/systemd/system-generators/postfix-instance-generator does not create the necessary symlinks beneath /run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/ instead it creates an invalid one. should be: /run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/[email protected] /run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/[email protected] /run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/[email protected] /run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/[email protected] /run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/[email protected] /run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/[email protected] /run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/[email protected] /run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/[email protected] /run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/[email protected] /run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/[email protected] /run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/[email protected] /run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/[email protected] /run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/[email protected] /run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/[email protected] /run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/[email protected] /run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/[email protected] /run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/[email protected] /run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/[email protected] actually: /run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/[email protected] /run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/[email protected] Here the syslog: Apr 18 15:29:27 mgw4-han systemd: /lib/systemd/system-generators/postfix-instance-generator failed with error code 1. ...

Adding following to postfix-instance-generator: for DIR in $(postconf -h multi_instance_directories); do echo "|$DIR|" > /dev/kmsg postconf -hc $DIR multi_instance_name > /dev/kmsg 2> /dev/kmsg echo "|$?|" > /dev/kmsg done revealed: [ 15.837507] |/etc/postfix-100-3| [ 15.845184] postconf: fatal: parameter inet_interfaces: no local interface found for 194.95.232.41 [ 16.845910] |1| It's questionable if postconf should always check the config so thoroughly or if it should present an option to switch on/off these checks, but currently it's not useable at this early stage of systemd. My suggestion for a quick fix is: --- postfix-instance-generator.orig 2018-02-23 23:29:10.000000000 +0100 +++ postfix-instance-generator.new 2018-04-20 11:19:23.462322680 +0200 @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ ln -s "$SERVICEFILE" "$WANTDIR/[email protected]" for DIR in $(postconf -h multi_instance_directories); do - ln -s "$SERVICEFILE" "$WANTDIR/postfix@$(postconf -hc $DIR multi_instance_name).service" + ln -s "$SERVICEFILE" "$WANTDIR/postfix@$(postconf -o inet_interfaces= -hc $DIR multi_instance_name).service" done exit 0 Of course, an additional option in postconf would be the better solution.
