Package: postfix Version: 3.1.8-0+deb9u1 Debian: stretch
Hello,
While booting, the postfix systemd generator
/lib/systemd/system-generators/postfix-instance-generator
does not create the necessary symlinks beneath
/run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/
instead it creates an invalid one.
should be:
/run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/postfix@-.service
/run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/postfix@postfix-100-3.service
/run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/postfix@postfix-104-2.service
/run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/postfix@postfix-149-1.service
/run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/postfix@postfix-154-1.service
/run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/postfix@postfix-179-1.service
/run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/postfix@postfix-180-1.service
/run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/postfix@postfix-181-1.service
/run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/postfix@postfix-183-1.service
/run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/postfix@postfix-186-1.service
/run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/postfix@postfix-195-1.service
/run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/postfix@postfix-196-1.service
/run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/postfix@postfix-197-1.service
/run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/postfix@postfix-198-1.service
/run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/postfix@postfix-199-1.service
/run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/postfix@postfix-200-1.service
/run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/postfix@postfix-201-1.service
/run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/postfix@postfix-202-1.service
actually:
/run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/postfix@-.service
/run/systemd/generator/postfix.service.wants/postfix@.service
Here the syslog:

After booting you can log in and call "systemctl daemon-reload"
and "systemctl start postfix" which works now properly:

Adding following to postfix-instance-generator:
for DIR in $(postconf -h multi_instance_directories); do
echo "|$DIR|" > /dev/kmsg
postconf -hc $DIR multi_instance_name > /dev/kmsg 2> /dev/kmsg
echo "|$?|" > /dev/kmsg
done
revealed:
[ 15.837507] |/etc/postfix-100-3|
[ 15.845184] postconf: fatal: parameter inet_interfaces: no local interface
found for 194.95.232.41
[ 16.845910] |1|
It's questionable if postconf should always check the config so thoroughly
or if it should present an option to switch on/off these checks, but currently
it's not useable at this early stage of systemd.
My suggestion for a quick fix is:
--- postfix-instance-generator.orig 2018-02-23 23:29:10.000000000 +0100
+++ postfix-instance-generator.new 2018-04-20 11:19:23.462322680 +0200
@@ -9,7 +9,7 @@
ln -s "$SERVICEFILE" "$WANTDIR/postfix@-.service"
for DIR in $(postconf -h multi_instance_directories); do

multi_instance_name).service"
+ ln -s "$SERVICEFILE" "$WANTDIR/postfix@$(postconf -o inet_interfaces= -hc
$DIR multi_instance_name).service"
done
exit 0
Of course, an additional option in postconf would be
the better solution.

Stefan
