Dear Steve Lawrence,
Hi All. I installed openprotect and everything seemed to work, but then
I stopped getting mail. The queue was starting to back up, and so I did
some investigating. Turns out that when the /etc/init.d/openprotect
start command is run, the first postfix daemon runs, then the second
does not. An error appears in /var/log/mail/warnings.log that postfix is
already running.
What have I done wrong that postfix is allowed only one process to run?
Thanks in advance!
Steve.
Either, the original postfix is running, or the init script isn't correctly configured. Do a "postfix stop; postfix -c /etc/postfix.in stop". Then, run "openprotect start" and check whether it is working now. If yes, no problem, just disable /etc/init.d/postfix or whatever init script you used for starting postfix before installing OpenProtect.
If not, run "postfix -c /etc/postfix.in start; postfix start" and check again. If it works now, then the init script is wrongly configured.
