Bug 622604 – mail-filter/opendkim ExecStartPre check config

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Garry Filakhtov 2017-06-24 11:40:09 UTC]

Hi everyone,

OpenDKIM comes with the config file validation tool that can be used by specifying -n command line option.

I would like to suggest to add
ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/opendkim -n -x /etc/opendkim/opendkim.conf
to validate config file before start/restart

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Garry

Sounds good. We should do this in the OpenRC service file too, in the check_cfg() function.

Hey Garry, Ralph opened a pull request on github that includes a new systemd service file:

https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/blob/6fd3891124506865f757e3bf68a4ff689b454461/mail-filter/opendkim/files/opendkim.service.r4

Does that work for you? A real live systemd test would be nice.

Ah, Michael beat me to it. ;-) I don't use systemd for Gentoo myself, so your test would be appreciated. In case anybody is wondering about the argument list: The manpage states that 'opendkim -n' will parse both the configuration file and command line arguments.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the update.
Just tested new service file from the mentioned PR and it is looking all good.

Cheers,
Garry
