Hi!
I just setup a fresh install with opensmtpd and dovecot on my Ubuntu
server with the help of this tutorial:
https://rodolphe.breard.tf/en/article/how-to-deploy-a-personal-email-server/
However, my opensmtpd service fails to start (even manually) with this
error:
smtpd[2160]: pony express: smtpd: bind: Cannot assign requested address
smtpd[2156]: smtpd: process pony socket closed
Here is my smtpd.conf (strangely located at /etc/ instead of
/etc/smtpd/) : https://pastebin.com/SXJkLNrY
Do you have an idea of the source of the problem? Another toturial
mentioned adding 127.0.0.1 mail.myhostname.fr
<http://mail.myhostname.fr> to /etc/hosts, but then I removed it.
I think the problem is here:
listen on 127.0.0.1 port 25 tls pki myhostname.fr hostname
mail.myhostname.fr
listen on ::1 tls pki myhostname.fr hostname mail.myhostname.fr
On most modern Linux, ::1 implies 127.0.0.1. I would juste replace both with
listen on lo port 25 hostname mail.myhostname.fr
(No need for tls internally)
