There is way less wonky bash scripting in the new service file, because it is mostly declarations, rather than code. As an added bonus, the old postgrey init script never worked properly for me (it did not kill cleanly, no idea why), but the new systemd service file works great.
Wish I could say the same. When systemd works - it works fine. The trouble is when it doesn't work - it just sucks for diagnosing what's going on. It's practically impossible to tell why something isn't working because you have no idea of the dependencies between services and when and how they get started. There is a lot of documentation but its very obtuse. I've seen services fail to start on boot but if you manually start them - they work. I've seen services fail to stop causing the system to hang (until you repeatedly press ctrl-alt-del) and so on. Never mind the weirdness like trying to stop a non existant service - the service shows up as failed with a systemctl -a. Can't see what use that is. I hate having to write .service on the end of everything - it's completely superfluous. I love the concept of systemctl but its human interface is just awful.
