• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

The summary says it all really.
The ebuild mail-filter/pypolicyd-spf has no systemd .service file.

It also has no OpenRC init script =)

The "daemon" is launched by Postfix itself. For example, I have the following in my main.cf:

  policyd-spf  unix  -       n       n       -       0       spawn
    user=policyd-spf argv=/usr/bin/policyd-spf

What would you want the service file to do?

Thank you Michael,

just was happy I figured out postgrey, which starts as a daemon to which postfix connect.
Supposed all policydaemons would work the same way.
Seems for some reason that is not the case.

Well OK, I learned something new.
Sorry for reporting a bug, where it seems it seems the problem was lack of knowledge on my site.

Simon

No problem, glad I could help!

For the record, this goes in *master.cf*, not main.cf:

  policyd-spf  unix  -       n       n       -       0       spawn
    user=policyd-spf argv=/usr/bin/policyd-spf
