Hello I noticed that when someone makes an error in master.cf (for example write anything at the beginning of the file) and then restart postfix there is a problem:
postfix is stopped (that's ok), then it should be started but it isn't (in log something like postfix/master[1649]: fatal: /etc/postfix/master.cf: line 4: bad transport type: ==========================================================================) and there is no error shown on console ( echo $? - shows 0 ) and then when we try to restart (or start) postfix again - we can't - unless we delete /var/lib/init.d/started/postfix file (it's not deleted while restarting) is it a bug or we're doing sth wrong?! equery list | grep postfix mail-mta/postfix-2.5.5 uname -r 2.6.27-gentoo-r8 regards nichu
