Wouldn't this normally be handled by having postfix delay mail delivery if clamsmtp wasn't operational? So the ordering of postfix/clamsmtp startup is less important. Perhaps even better would be to have clamsmtp do socket activation, so the sockets existed before either postfix or clamsmtp were started. -- Don Armstrong https://www.donarmstrong.com Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it. -- Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
