The init script for mail-mta/nullmailer executes nullmailer-send with the --daemon option command line option but the nullmailer-send executable produced by the nullmailer-1.13 ebuild does not understand this option and it does not fork to the background. As a result, executing "/etc/init.d/nullmailer start" never returns. Apparently the --daemon option is not an upstream feature but rather it is added by the debian patches. It seems that these patches are not applied by the nullmailer-1.13 ebuild.
I can confirm this problem... please fix! thanks!
Robin, what is the way to proceed here? 1. Apply the debian patch 2. Adapt systemd/openrc scripts to handle forking themselves?
