Package: courier-mta Version: 0.68.2-1 Followup-For: Bug #728747 I believe that I am experiencing this same bug, but am not completely sure.
I just set up an new host on an OpenVZ container, and I don't have access to the boot console messages, so I don't know if Courier-MTA and my other courier daemons are tossing errors during boot. I don't see anything in syslog, and I don't know of anything way I can get the console log without the help of my hosting provider, which isn't likely. I suspect the reason I am seeing this is because the host is a very fast OpenVZ container. I was having repeated and reliable problems with Courier-MTA starting at boot. Starting the init script manually after boot always resulted in a successful start. Courier-IMAP was often starting, but courier-mta and courier-mta-ssl would not start. Notably, occasionally courier-mta-ssl *would* successfully start at boot. I believe I have fixed the problem by adding "courier-authdaemon" to the "Required-Start:" line in the courier init scripts where appropriate and then running update-rc.d against the courier init scripts. Please change the courier daemon init scripts to include courier-authdaemon as a dependency. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-042stab081.5 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages courier-mta depends on: ii courier-authlib 0.63.0-6+b1 ii courier-base 0.68.2-1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.49 ii libc6 2.13-38+deb7u1 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.2-5 ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-11 ii libperl5.14 5.14.2-21+deb7u1 ii libstdc++6 4.7.2-5 courier-mta recommends no packages.
