Well, a mail server daemon must not be run until it is completely configured, in particular when manual configuration is needed, e.g. to set up aliases and/or to check if some disk is mounted. Otherwise this means that mail will be rejected. Because of that, I potentially lost mail on an Ubuntu machine. But I think that Debian has/had the same problem. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
