Package: mimedefang
Version: 2.78-1
Severity: normal
Note: The issue was first tested against Version 2.75-1 (Jessie)
and after that an upgrade of the single package to 2.78-1(Stretch)
was done and resulted in the same outcome.
a) *** Steps to reproduce ***
1. configure mimedefang listening to a tcp port
/etc/default/mimedefang
# some arbritrary selected tcp port
SOCKET=inet:17889
2. Issue a service restart command, so the port comes up
systemctl restart mimedefang
3. Issue another service restart command, so the service
is restarted
b) *** expected behaviour ***
TCP Port 17889 is up
c) *** actual behaviour ***
- TCP Port 17889 is down
- journalctl -xn reports
Dez 05 01:30:10 myserver mimedefang[12855]: MIMEDefang-2.78: Unable to bind
to port inet:17889: Address already in use
Dez 05 01:30:10 myserver mimedefang[12855]: MIMEDefang-2.78: Unable to create
listening socket on conn inet:17889
d) *** workaround ***
Issue another systemctl restart some seconds later
or use Init-Script /etc/init.d/mimedefang restart
which waits some seconds after stopping the service
