Package: mailutils-pop3d Version: 1:3.17-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Since a few months ago (latest 2023-09), without making any configuration changes, my pop3d localhost service has failed to come online. The direct reason is that systemd kills it, but I don't know why, especially since it worked before. I've found a temporary workaround which is to edit mailutils-pop3d.service: -Type=forking +Type=simple -ExecStart=/usr/sbin/pop3d --daemon +ExecStart=/usr/sbin/pop3d --daemon --foreground then this works and systemd doesn't kill the resulting process. Note that you need both --daemon and --foreground. If you just have --foreground then systemd still kills it, possibly because without --daemon it will print to stdout. Like the actual bug, I don't understand why this workaround works. Fuck systemd.
