If there were systemd units for smtp and the queue runner then the sysadmin could easily request systemd to stop one without the other. Sometimes when running an MTA that supports separate functions for queue running and SMTP it's convenient to be able to run one without the other. Sometimes it's good to be able to stop one suddenly without interfering with the other too - so an option of stopping both and then starting one wouldn't be so good. I prefer Postfix which doesn't support such things. But if I was to use Exim then I would definitely want such flexibility. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
