I realize there have been a lot of posts about this issue, but in my attempts so far, nothing has resolved this issue for me.

The postfix server in question is running on Ubuntu LTS 24.04 and has been in operation for over a decade. But today while looking in the logs about a different issue I was constantly seeing:

warning: connect to milter service inet:127.0.0.1:8891: connection refused

Looking back through available logs this has been going on for a couple of months. I can't see any further back then that, but since I upgraded this server to the latest LTS in the Fall of 2024, I wonder if that upgrade broke something.

The culprit seems to be opendkim. All the config files have info relating to this server, so it must have been set up to run previously.

When I checked the service it wouldn't start and was masked. After unmasking it, I was able to start it.

> service opendkim start

Regardless, checking to see what is listening on port 8891 produced no results.

postfix is part of the opendkim group, btw.

Kind of at my wits end here. Any ideas?
