Public bug reported: After upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04, greylisting stopped working on my mail server.
It seems that the script /usr/sbin/greylistd is not valid python3. Changing the first line of /usr/sbin/greylistd from #!/usr/bin/python3 to #!/usr/bin/python2 allows me to start greylistd with "sudo service greylistd start", and it seems to function properly, but "sudo service greylistd stop" does not seem to stop greylistd as expected. 1) Description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Release: 20.04 2) greylistd: Installed: 0.8.8.8 Candidate: 0.8.8.8 Version table: *** 0.8.8.8 500 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 Packages 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) I expected greylist daemon to run after boot or "sudo service greylistd start" 4) greylist daemon exited immediately after start attempt, probably due to syntax errors.
