I've looked through my startup logs and picked one of the latest-starting services I had and set the smtpd service to start after that, but it didn't make a difference. Even the repeated start attempts are all failing. The repeated restart attempts are quite a bit after the rest of the system starts up, so I'm really not sure what it could be. Again, it starts with no issues if I start it myself. Does anyone know what specifically causes this error?
