http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1025651 Bug ID: 1025651 Summary: amavis-milter dies on start Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.2 Hardware: Other OS: openSUSE 42.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: lucio@lambrate.inaf.it QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- As described in detail in thread https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/522810-problem-starting-amavis, if amavis and amavis-milter are started at boot via the bundled amavis.service unit file it appears that: 1) amavis-milter starts (/var/log/mail) 2) it creates the socket /var/spool/amavis/amavisd-milter.sock 3) it suddenly and silently dies (ps does not report it any more) 4) amavis starts and creates its own socket/var/spool/amavis/amavisd.sock 5) when a mail comes there is a connection refused message on amavisd-milter.sock (which netstat -na shows NOT to be in listen status) Our current workaround has been NOT to use the ExecStartPre and ExecStart mechanism, but to force starting amavis-milter and amavis in sequence in a single shell script (if they are started in sequence manually or in a shell script both remains running and everything works ok) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
