smtpd fails on automatic startup

2015-10-09 Thread Allyn Bottorff 

Greetings,

I've been running an OpenSMTPD server for a while now on an ArchLinux
server and I've noticed some strange behavior. When I reboot the server,
smptd crashes on startup. If I restart the service manually, however, it
starts up just fine and will run without issue until I need to reboot
for whatever reason. Because of this, I'm assuming it has to do with the
way the OS is starting the service rather than an smtpd problem
specifically, but I'm hoping that someone here may know more about the
error codes than I and will be able to point me in the right direction.

#journalctl -u smtpd.service

-- Reboot --

#pacman -Qs opensmtpd
local/opensmtpd 5.7.3p1-1

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Because 'network.target' doesn't actually wait for any of the interfaces
to be up - what you want is 'network-online.target'[0].

Your network interface might not be fully initialized when the smtpd  
service attempts to start.


Try monkeying with the smtpd.service unit file dependencies as per  
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd#Handling_dependencies

EHLO package maintainers,

It would be nice if we had a list and-or IRC channel to communicate with
you and synchronize before releases.

Should I setup something ?
