I haven't yet tried restarting postfix, but I can see this logging for all *certificate files* at every reboot, as can be seen in the following example. Non-certificate files are indeed only mentioned once in the journal. [~]$ journalctl -o short --since 2025-09-15 | grep updating | egrep '\.conf|6a9bdba3' Sep 15 10:50:51 host01 postfix[27587]: updating /etc/host.conf => /var/spool/postfix//etc/host.conf Sep 15 10:50:51 host01 postfix[27587]: updating /etc/nsswitch.conf => /var/spool/postfix//etc/nsswitch.conf Sep 15 10:50:51 host01 postfix[27745]: updating /etc/ssl/certs/6a9bdba3.0 => /var/spool/postfix//etc/ssl/certs/6a9bdba3.0 Sep 15 11:13:51 host01 postfix[1794]: updating /etc/ssl/certs/6a9bdba3.0 => /var/spool/postfix//etc/ssl/certs/6a9bdba3.0 Sep 15 11:21:42 host01 postfix[1796]: updating /etc/ssl/certs/6a9bdba3.0 => /var/spool/postfix//etc/ssl/certs/6a9bdba3.0 Sep 16 10:41:03 host01 postfix[1861]: updating /etc/ssl/certs/6a9bdba3.0 => /var/spool/postfix//etc/ssl/certs/6a9bdba3.0 Sep 16 18:01:55 host01 postfix[1973]: updating /etc/ssl/certs/6a9bdba3.0 => /var/spool/postfix//etc/ssl/certs/6a9bdba3.0 I tried stat(1)'ing the files below /etc/ssl/certs and /var/spool/postfix/etc/ssl/certs, they have both identical size and mtime when the system is running. If you don't have any other idea, I could try instrumenting the syncfiles.pl script and see why it copies the certificates during every reboot ... Thanks.
