Public bug reported:
Affects: OpenDKIM version 2.10.3
If a comment is present after the `SOCKET=` line in
`/etc/default/opendkim` like below, OpenDKIM will fail to launch, citing
invalid usage.
# Command-line options specified here will override the contents of
# /etc/opendkim.conf. See opendkim(8) for a complete list of options.
#DAEMON_OPTS=""
#
# Uncomment to specify an alternate socket
# Note that setting this will override any Socket value in opendkim.conf
#SOCKET="local:/var/run/opendkim/opendkim.sock" # default
#SOCKET="inet:54321" # listen on all interfaces on port 54321
#SOCKET="inet:12345@localhost" # listen on loopback on port 12345
#SOCKET="inet:12345@192.0.2.1" # listen on 192.0.2.1 on port 12345
SOCKET="inet:12301@localhost" # just a "harmless" little comment
