Hi, I send the attached forward message for more than 2 weeks ago to the maintainer of the postfix package but have not received any response. Is this package not maintained by Lamont Jones anymore?

> The patch solves the problem when you have enabled virtual delivery in
> postfix thru an external source like a database or ldap and postfix runs
> in chroot mode, which is the default configuration in Sarge. The problem
> is that you in this situation will have to create a hardlink from the
> external sources socket into the jail but at this moment this is not
> done automatically which means you have to do this by hand after the
> server has started. On several occasions I have restarted the server but
> forgotten this which led to a stalled mail delivery system until I did
> it. To prevent this situation in happening again I have made this patch
> for the init script. At present it only handles mysql, which I use, but
> could be easily extended to postgresql and openldap.

> One requirement though is that the start order of postfix and the
> external source is important so to make sure postfix starts after the
> external sources it's start order should be 21 instead of 20.
