I use postfix to send email from the laptop and NetworkManager to handle network connection. What happens is, that sometimes the machine boots and postfix is not running (and therefore email to send is just queued). There is message in /var/log/mail.err: Dec 16 13:00:14 quack postfix[1939]: fatal: could not find any active network interfaces Dec 16 13:01:17 quack postfix/postqueue[2882]: fatal: Cannot flush mail queue - mail system is down So what I think is happening is that NetworkManager sometimes does not establish network connection before postfix is started and it bails out with error. I think this is common enough setup that we could handle it in our distro by default. I'm not sure what the cleanest solution would be - I've added a script starting postfix to /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ and hope that it resolves my problem. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
