Public bug reported: I have specified a hostname dovecot should bind to, but upon start, I get errors written to syslog such as "Cannot assign requested address". The hostname is specified in /etc/hosts for an IPv4 and IPv6 address and the IPs are registered in /etc/network/interfaces
If I start the service after boot, everything works as expected. Maybe adding an override to start after network-online.target and systemd- resolved.target would fix the problem. Postfix already has such a config. I am running Ubuntu 17.10 and dovecot is 2.2.27-3ubuntu1 ** Affects: dovecot (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1730966 Title: Dovecot cannot bind to address on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dovecot/+bug/1730966/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
