Additional remark: Bug #764096 is about an incomplete chroot setup caused by the start script. To differentially diagnose this, I had ruled a broken chroot setup out in my testing by forcing smtp(8) outside the chroot per master.cf.
This bug is fundamentally a resolver bug, exhibited through a change in Postfix's default policy which flags to pass to/strip from res_search(). Arguably I should be using 127.0.0.1 or ::1 instead of localhost (suggested by Victor Duchovni on postfix-users) to skip the DNS indirection, but "localhost" has been working well since Ubuntu 9.10 or so, so I'd taken the time to notify Ubuntu in addition to the upstream. I see this bug as a tracking bug for if and only if you want to provide a workaround in Postfix (as suggested initially) while Bug #777855 is still unfixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to postfix in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/777868 Title: Postfix smtp can no longer resolve localhost - regression from maverick. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
