Package: postfix Version: 3.10.5-1~deb13u1 Severity: important When I upgraded from 3.10.4-1~deb13u1 to 3.10.5-1~deb13u1, postfix.service and [email protected] were both stopped. Then postfix.service was started again, but [email protected] was not, which broke my mail system. [email protected] was still enabled though, so it started on the next boot. /var/log/apt/history.log: Start-Date: 2025-11-16 05:40:35 Commandline: /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade Upgrade: postfix-cdb:amd64 (3.10.4-1~deb13u1, 3.10.5-1~deb13u1), postfix:amd64 (3.10.4-1~deb13u1, 3.10.5-1~deb13u1) End-Date: 2025-11-16 05:40:39 $ journalctl -S '2025-11-16 05:35:00' -t systemd --grep=postfix Nov 16 05:40:36 mail-inbound-119b7863 systemd[1]: Stopping postfix.service - Postfix Mail Transport Agent (main/default instance)...

Interesting. I tested this configuration and it worked, but I don't claim I understand this relation well. Does `systemctl restart postfix` restarts your postfix@inbound instance too? If it does, how about `systemctl stop postfix` followed by `systemctl start postfix` ? I geuss the latter is the problem. Thanks, /mjt
