Not quite "later today", but: A bit of thinking about it, and I realized that the computer in question is an ancient 686 with very limited RAM, physical and swap. So I experimented with watching the startup using htop. That got me thinking that maybe the start timeout was too short. I edited postfix@-.service, like so: systemctl edit postfix@-.service and added a line to the end of the [service] stanza: TimeoutSec=360 So: root@white:/etc# diff systemd/system/postfix@-.service /lib/systemd/system/postfix@.service 17d16 < TimeoutSec=360 20c19 < WantedBy=multi-user.target \ No newline at end of file --- > WantedBy=multi-user.target root@white:/etc# That seems to have fixed the problem.
