Hello, I am not 100% sure what the best/correct dependencies for Debian's systemd unit (Type=exec) are.
For reference exim git has: Requires=network.target After=networking.target while Fedora, Gentoo, Opensuse use After=network.target and we (Debian) currently have After=network-online.target Wants=network-online.target * I think exim.git's "After=networking.target" is a typo and should read "After=network.target" * Reading https://systemd.io/NETWORK_ONLINE/ network.target is very weak and "its primary purpose is for ordering things properly at shutdown", so Requires/Wants should not make a significant difference. * The same page says "for example network server software should generally not pull this [network-online.target] in." So Debian might have made an error and should switch to network.target. Except exim is not just a server for incoming connection but also makes outgoing connections. * exim usually will not be able to do something useful without nss-lookup.target and nss-user-lookup.target so these are candidates for After-directives. What about remote-fs.target or using RequiresMountsFor=/home or RequiresMountsFor=/var/mail? cu Andreas -- ## subscription configuration (requires account): ## https://lists.exim.org/mailman3/postorius/lists/exim-users.lists.exim.org/ ## unsubscribe (doesn't require an account): ## exim-users-unsubscr...@lists.exim.org ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
