Here's the reason, at least, FreeBSD has been hanging at boot after installing postfix:
"sendmail -q<time>" without -bd option now exits immediately, instead of waiting for input and screwing up system boot sequences. but this can be also fixed with rc.conf having: sendmail_enable="YES" sendmail_flags="-bd" sendmail_outbound_enable="NO" sendmail_submit_enable="NO" sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO" ==================== >Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >X-Original-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Postfix 2.0 Patch11 available >To: Postfix announce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2003 11:13:38 -0400 (EDT) >Cc: Postfix users <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >X-Time-Zone: USA EST, 6 hours behind central European time >X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL82 (25)] >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Wietse Venema) >X-AntiVirus: checked by Vexira MailArmor (version: 2.0.1.7; VAE: 6.20.0.0; >VDF: 6.20.0.5; host: camomile.cloud9.net) >Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >List-Post: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >List-Help: <http://www.postfix.org/lists.html> >List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >List-Subscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >X-RCPT-TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Postfix official version 2.0 patch 11 provides workarounds and >fixes for minor problems that surfaced in the past three weeks. >The official release is changed only for bugfixes and portability >issues (with a very rare exception this time).
