I take your warning really serious. That is the reason I wrote here to the 
list. But it brings me to a conflict that I do not know, how to solve else.

The problem with using /usr/sbin/postfix is that it starts master and upstart 
never will have control over that process, which in my opinion it must have.

Can you tell me what postfix does differently while starting master, than an 
exec call from upstart would do? Maybe if I understand more from the "behind 
the scenes" I can find a solution.

Maybe at the end I will accept that it might be impossible to use upstart and 
that a classical sysvinit might be the only way. But I do not want to give up 
so early ;-)

Regards
Christian
