A nessesary correction - /etc/init.d/sendmail *tries* to run '/bin/systemctl start sendmail.service'. But, since no sendmail* package provide systemd's service file - nothing happens. Such behaviour cannot be considered systemd's bug IMO - systemd simply does what it's intended to do in this case. But, at the same time, such behaviour can be considered as a sendmail bug (given that systemd is Jessie's default init, and sendmail is not starting with this init). Still, there's a way to workaround this. Try adding export _SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT="true" to /etc/init.d/sendmail Reco -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
