 |
|
Hi,
I had postfix running and upgraded to postfix-2.0.16-r1 and now it fails on start due to "getaddrinfo: Servname not support" I also tried 2.0.18 and downgraded to 2.0.11 with the same result.
Does somebody have a clue?
Cheers
Thiemo

Did you program in a hostname into your postfix configuration? If not, does your computer have a name in /etc/hostname? In either case, are your DNS settings in /etc/resolv.conf up to date and correct?
I vaguely recall getting this error in the past, and it turned out to be some strangeness with the way I had my address records in the DNS. Or Portage overwriting my /etc/hostname file. I don't recall clearly.[/b]

This looks all good to me.

I use USE="IPV6". However, I did that before. I'll check your link, however.
[edit] I am affraid, I could not get usefull information from above link. Though there is a bug mentionned giving "getaddrinfo: Servname not support", it seems to be related only to clients connections and fixed at least with 2.0.18, but my problem happens at server start up and from 2.0.11 to 2.0.18 ebuilds. However, I do know that postfix can act as client as well, but I assume this hardly could matter at start up. Maybe somebody more knowledgable than I can give me a hint.
Thanks

I found what kept postfix from running.
I put two instruction into master.cf. I forgot to remove them.
| Code: | smtps inet n - n - - smtpd
-o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
submission inet n - n - - smtpd
-o smtpd_enforce_tls=yes -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes |
However, my postfix is running again but still without authentication - and apparingly blocking all mails from outside. 
Cheers
Thiemo
