I'll note that the man page for filterctl says: "When its standard input is closed the mail filter should stop accepting new connections and wait for any existing connections to be closed, prior to exiting." I'm not sure, off the top of my head, why it would be a problem for a filter to continue waiting after the timeout. For that matter, I'm not sure I understand the original question. It said: """After start, pythonfilter is not started — 'filterctl start pythonfilter' fails to bring it up with this: filterctl start pythonfilter ln: creating symbolic link `/etc/courier/filters/active/pythonfilter' to `/usr/lib/courier/libexec/filters/pythonfilter': File exists""" Why is filterctl involved in "service courier restart" at all? As far as I can tell, courier's sysvinit script doesn't invoke filterctl and neither does courierfilter.
