32267 2003-10-29 06:38 0000 Courier init script errors!!! 2004-02-22 05:44:13 0000 1 1 1 Unclassified Gentoo Linux Ebuilds unspecified All Linux RESOLVED FIXED P2 normal --- 1 superbeps@linux.nu iggy@gentoo.org superbeps@linux.nu 2003-10-29 06:38:16 0000 The /etc/init.d/courier script lacks a part meant to star esmtpd-ssl if properly configured. In particular I suggest ti add: # start esmtpd-ssl if so written [ -f ${sysconfdir}/esmtpd-ssl ] && source ${sysconfdir}/esmtpd-ssl case x$ESMTPDSSLSTART in x[yY]*) ebegin " Starting esmtpd-ssl" ${sbindir}/esmtpd-ssl start ;; esac in the start() function and ebegin " Stopping courier-esmtpd-ssl" ${sbindir}/esmtpd-ssl stop in the stop() function There is another error in this script, it lacks the generation of esmtpacceptmailfor.dat, so it would be useful having this line: [ -f ${sysconfdir}/esmtpacceptmailfor.dat ] || ${sbindir}/makeacceptmailfor I think that this script could be improved such as the ebuild of courier, so i would like to talk with courier ebuild mantainer Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable esmtpd-ssl (ESMTPDSSLSTART="YES") 2. Try to restart (or start) courier service 3. As you see ssmtp has not been started! iggy@gentoo.org 2003-10-29 11:04:46 0000 Oddly enough the courier sysV init script doesn't start esmtpd-ssl (which is what I based the Gentoo startup script on). I'm looking into why it doesn't start it (to make sure it's not borken or something). iggy@gentoo.org 2003-10-29 11:28:28 0000 Okay, so the initscript in the install docs still is missing a part about esmtpd-ssl, but the one that is distributed in the most recent tarball correctly has a part about it. I've fixed this in cvs, and I'll bump the ebuild after I do some more init script cleaning and testing that's been on my todo list for awhile. a_harald@yahoo.com 2004-02-22 05:44:13 0000 There is still a small problem: You added "case x$ESMTPDSTART in" (missing 'SSL') instead of "case x$ESMTPDSSLSTART in" to /etc/init.d/courier. So esmtpd-ssl doesn't start, even if it is configured in /etc/courier/esmtpd-ssl (ESMTPDSSLSTART=YES). (Sorry, I don't have the permission to mark this bug as REOPENED.)
