Ive been running postgrey for years without any problems but today I |
| 2 |
noticed I hadn't gotten email for awhile and realized upon investigation |
| 3 |
that postgrey wasnt running so postfix was rejecting mail. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
What's maddening is that I can run postgrey quite happily from the command |
| 6 |
line in the foregorund, but if I try to use the init script or otherwise |
| 7 |
try to daemonize it, it silently crashes: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
# /etc/init.d/postgrey start |
| 10 |
* Starting Postgrey ... |
| 11 |
[ ok ] |
| 12 |
# pgrep -af postgrey |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Its not running. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The logs dont show anything useful. If I ask the init script to be verbose |
| 17 |
I see this: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
# /etc/init.d/postgrey start --verbose |
| 20 |
* Caching service dependencies ... |
| 21 |
[ ok ] |
| 22 |
* Starting Postgrey ... |
| 23 |
* start-stop-daemon: fopen `/var/run/postgrey.pid': No such file or |
| 24 |
directory |
| 25 |
[ ok ] |
| 26 |
# |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
which doesn't make much sense. |
