Hi,
I would like to know if the Postfix 'wrapper' program will start the spamd or clamd if the daemons when new email arrives, if they do not start on system boot.
I'm not sure what the "postfix wrapper program" is, but postfix certainly won't auto-start any spamd/clamd in the default configuration.
OK further explanation below: I have a local IMAP mail server that I use to store my email. Mail is retrieved from my ISP POP mail a/c by Fetchmail, passed to Postfix, who in turn commands/requests spamd and clamd to inspect the incoming mail. Once they have finished with the email it is handed back to Postfix to forward onto the IMAP server software, Courier-Imap I think. The above is my understanding of how the mail server works. with local power restrictions here, I shutdown the IMAP mail server daily. On restart the following day, and watching the boot messages fly past while the system boots up, I occasionally see that Spamd or Clamd have 'Failed' i.e. are not 'Done'. What would the command be to manually start these daemons/apps/services or will Postfix start them when new email is passed to it from Fetchmail OR should I rather reboot the system and see that none of the processes/services/apps/daemons fail?
