Package: postfix Version: 2.3.7-3 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
After upgrading postfix in Debian etch from 2.3.7 to 2.3.8, postfix does not allow any connections to port 25 any more, it simply does not respond. The /var/log/mail.log (and mail.warn and mail.info) are filled with lines like: Mar 21 15:32:43 server postfix/master[12163]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 12170 exit status 127 Mar 21 15:32:43 server postfix/master[12163]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling Mar 21 15:33:43 server postfix/master[12163]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 12201 exit status 127 Mar 21 15:33:43 server postfix/master[12163]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling Mar 21 15:34:43 server postfix/master[12163]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 12232 exit status 127 Mar 21 15:34:43 server postfix/master[12163]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling Manually installing the out-of-date version 2.3.7 from the etch repositories makes postfix work again... -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-686-bigmem Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages postfix depends on: ii adduser 3.102 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.13.25 package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.3 4.3.29-8 Berkeley v4.3 Database Libraries [ ii libsasl2-2 2.1.22.dfsg1-8 Authentication abstraction library ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8c-4 SSL shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.1-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii netbase 4.29 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii ssl-cert 1.0.14 Simple debconf wrapper for openssl Versions of packages postfix recommends: ii mailx [mail-read 1:8.1.2-0.20050715cvs-1 A simple mail user agent -- debconf information: postfix/master_upgrade_warning: postfix/db_upgrade_warning: true * postfix/mailname: kainhofer.com postfix/tlsmgr_upgrade_warning: postfix/dynamicmaps_upgrade_warning: postfix/recipient_delim: + * postfix/main_mailer_type: Internet Site postfix/transport_map_warning: postfix/relayhost: postfix/procmail: true postfix/bad_recipient_delimiter: postfix/chattr: false postfix/root_address: postfix/rfc1035_violation: false postfix/mydomain_warning: postfix/mynetworks: 127.0.0.0/8 postfix/destinations: /etc/postfix/local-host-names postfix/nqmgr_upgrade_warning: postfix/not_configured: postfix/mailbox_limit: 0 postfix/protocols: all -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
