my upstart-postfix python script works. It does call "/usr/sbin/postfix start" and loops. So this is a very simple form of making upstart happy and also starting/stopping postfix as expected. That postfix must not be started directly by calling master should also be documented in the master man page, as people like me (and my idea was based on Apple's practise, like they DO START postfix with launchctl on Mac OS X Server edition). Anyways. If someone likes to help me doing further coding on the python code, he/she is welcome. @Andreas: Du bist doch aus Deutschland? Kannst mich gerne mal anschreiben; vielleicht finden wir beide eine gute Lösung.
