I did not say I wanted to require it. I just wanted to make sure it's started before the MTA if there is one on the system. As a matter of fact I haven't had time to really debug the problem, a first glance just showed me that on SysV system it always starts earlier and never had a problem but since I added a native service file it doesn't work anymore. This made me wonder if I missed any dependency. So again, not absolutely sure if it helps, but I don't understand why defining a sequence like this would be harmful.
