Hi List. Is there a way to ensure that submission listener will not accept connections when dovecot is not running?
If not, is it possible to be implemented like for example smtp/submission inet n - - - - smtpd -o smtpd_sasl_security_options = strict_sasl_path The goal I want to achieve is to be able to benefit from load-balancer in such case. I appreciate any advise helping me to achieve this. postfix/smtpd[18998]: connect from client postfix/smtpd[18998]: warning: SASL: Connect to private/auth failed: Connection refused postfix/smtpd[18998]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms postfix/master[18533]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 18998 exit status 1 postfix/master[18533]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup - throttling client # telnet 10.10.10.10 25 Trying 10.10.10.10...
