I emerged postfix to handle my email traffic. Postfix runs good after found the right configuration.

Postfix comes with an rc-srcipt (that is realy simple btw)
Quote:
start() {
ebegin "Starting postfix"
/usr/sbin/postfix start &>/dev/null
eend $?
}


If I start and stop postfix at the commandline, everthing works fine. But when I restart the server, the rc-script don't start postfix.

Quote:
mars root # rc-update show | grep postfix
postfix | default


I've no idea, what goes wrong. I didn't found entries in the logfile.
Any recomandations?

I don't want to do anything. When I start my system, i assume that every demon called by a rc-script runs and works.

The server doesn't have a screen or keyboard. If I start it, I don't want to open a ssh connection, type "postfix restart".

I'm wondering, why postfix doesn't work at start-up. The rc-sript seems to be correct.
