Package: postfix
Version: 2.3.8-2
Severity: grave
After upgrading postfix from 2.3.7-3 to 2.3.8-2 it stopped working.
Every delivery attempt resulted in log errors like this:
---8<---
Mar 21 08:35:17 server postfix/master[20081]: warning: process
/usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 20090 exit status 127
Mar 21 08:35:17 server postfix/master[20081]: warning:
/usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling
---8<---
I find this bug rather serious, because it prevents the mail server from
delivering mail. After downgrading everything seems to work fine again.
The system is debian etch 4.0 with latest updates installed.
Here is /etc/postfix/main.cf

Thanks, this was the key. It turns out the maintainer uploaded the
postfix/i386 binaries built against a wrong, broken version of libssl-dev,
with the result that the package works fine with the version of libssl0.9.8
in unstable but not with the version in testing.
I've scheduled a binNMU to get postfix rebuilt against the current
libssl-dev, so this ought to be fixed in testing within 36 hours with no
further maintainer action required. I'm therefore closing the bug report
now.
Lamont, please be sure to update your build environment to the current
libssl-dev as well.
Thanks,
