I can't replicate this on an older release with upstart instead of systemd.
service opendkim start Starting OpenDKIM: opendkim: /etc/opendkim.conf: ldap://192.0.2.1/ou=people,dc=example,dc=com?DKIMSelector?sub?(DKIMIdentity=$d): dkimf_db_open(): Can't contact LDAP server opendkim. # ps -AF|grep opendkim opendkim 677 1 0 63960 1648 0 Apr30 ? 00:00:01 rsyslogd root 3012 12880 0 2216 648 1 00:11 pts/4 00:00:00 grep opendkim # service opendkim status * opendkim is not running I suspect this is a systemd issue. As a workaround, you might add SoftStart true to your opendkim.conf. That should cause it to start normally without LDAP. ** Package changed: opendkim (Ubuntu) => systemd (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1452538 Title: opendkim does not start properly when ldap server can't be contacted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1452538/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
