Am I the only one who received this (again) today (about 2 minutes ago, 14:26 CET)? If there is some kind of weirdness with my ISP (which would likely be the case if I'm the only one who got this), I certainly want to know about it-- and if Jan has some kind of weirdness on his (?) servers, I guess he (?) would want to know about that, too.

The mail delivery queue of my ISP has now been eliminated (since you got it too), leaving Jan's send queue, or the list server's queue I think. The puzzling bit is to look at the times in the email header - they are all correct for if the message was delivered immediately but not. (even on my server which i know has the right time). Very odd. Holly I never had this problem. I relay my mail through postfix to the smtp server of my university, but since they like to play sometimes with it, it's possible that problem is there.

Hi Jan, It's quite possible that I'm talking out of my butt, since I don't use postfix, but this really confused me: Since it's a chroot, I can't make a symlink This just doesn't seem right, if postfix/qmgr requires some kind of time marker. I get it that /etc is outside the chroot, but that seems to suggest that either the chroot parameters are too narrow (and /etc should be inside it, in which case you could create the symlink or wouldn't need to), and/or that the logger is misconfigured, in that it ought to be able to connect to /etc/localtime, but apparently is not. postfix/qmgr runs in the chroot /var/spool/postfix, so you can't access anything outside the chroot. So a symlink doesn't work Since I don't know anything about this, I went Googling, and found http://www.linuxsecurity.com/docs/HOWTO/Postfix-EnGarde-HOWTO.html , which says: General Information Postfix configuration is done with the files in /etc/postfix, /usr/lib/libexec/postfix contains the postfix daemons, and /var/spool/postfix contains the mail queues and various mail staging directories and the default chroot directory etc (if chrooting is configured). It's stated here that the chroot environment for postfix is /var/spool/postfix and that there a directory etc has to be. /etc/postfix will be the most important directory as it controls postfix's behaviour. This directory holds the two configuration files and the aliases, virtual, transport, access, and other databases in maps. Interestingly, this suggests that not only is /etc/ supposed to be in the chroot, but that /etc is supposed to be the root of the chroot. I don't think you're correct. I think that it suggests that 'a' directory etc is supposed to be there not 'the' directory /etc. Further in the link you provided, there's some information about it: Chroot Environment This environment is intended to limit system access to any malicious user who gains entry via an exploit of the mail system and contains only the very limited set of files necessary for the chrooted Postfix daemoms to run. The files that EnGarde includes in the chrooted environment are found in /var/spool/postfix/etc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] postfix]# ls -l /var/spool/postfix/etc total 24 -rw-r- 1 root root 604 Mar 5 13:43 hosts -rw-r--r-- 1 postfix postfix 1250 Feb 7 08:30 localtime -rw-r--r-- 1 postfix postfix 153 Mar 6 11:45 resolv.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 postfix postfix 11332 Feb 7 08:30 services [EMAIL PROTECTED] postfix]# [EMAIL PROTECTED] postfix]# ls -l /var/spool/postfix/lib/ total 72 -rwxr-xr-x 1 postfix postfix 67600 Feb 7 08:30 libnss_dns.so.2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] postfix]# The /var/spool/postfix/etc files are copies of the ones found in /etc as is the /var/spool/postfix/lib/libnss_dns.so.2 a copy of the libnss_dns library found in /lib. I find it strange that this is not done automatically by gentoo, nor that it is stated somewhere in the docs or on the wiki. And I suppose I would have to copy the other files to into /var/spool/postfix/etc So if I was you, I'd be interested in knowing why it is not, in your case. Maybe it's a Gentoo thing, but in that case, surely there's a Gentoo document detailing how to set up Postfix in the Gentoo System Administration docs, or a config file somewhere in /etc/(conf.d)(/postfix) that might explain why the chroot is in such a weird place (it sounds weird to me, and I don't even use Postfix). I have found this place in various documentations, so I'm sure this is not a gentoo thing. Anyway, hope this is in some way useful, and not a load of babbling idiocy.
