In mail.log I found the following from an earlier run: 2023-01-13T06:00:11.188254-07:00 white postfix/postfix-script[3068]: warning: /var/spool/postfix/etc/localtime and /etc/localtime differ 2023-01-13T06:00:11.303294-07:00 white postfix/postfix-script[3073]: warning: /var/spool/postfix/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnss_systemd.so.2 and /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnss_systemd.so.2 differ 2023-01-13T06:00:11.479941-07:00 white postfix/postfix-script[3080]: warning: /var/spool/postfix/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 and /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 differ (I've pasted these in unwrapped, but they may get mangled in transit or by your mail reader.) The message isn't quite correct: the three files under /var/spool/… were missing. I copied the originals into place. From a run just now: root@white:~# postfix start postfix: Postfix is using backwards-compatible default settings postfix: See http://www.postfix.org/COMPATIBILITY_README.html for details postfix: To disable backwards compatibility use "postconf compatibility_level=3.6" and "postfix reload" postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system root@white:~# and ps indicates a slew of postfix jobs running, and a whole bunch of test emails were delivered. That suggests there's something wrong with the way systemd is starting postfix. I will look into that later today. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
