If I manually restart opensmtpd, there is no such problem. As
you can see in the logfile, another service (apt-cacher-ng)
doesn't have this problem. (I had modified opensmtpd.service
to do a netstat -tnlp in ExecStartPre.)
smtpd.conf is
listen on lo
action "relay" relay host smtp://smarthost
match from local for any action "relay"
Please tell *which* address it cannot bind.
