<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Several of us are seeing the issue where Postfix fails to restart on reboot. Randy I believe had some good information on this on a recent Zeta call.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">So, this happened (again) to me today, and I did my usual zmmtactl stop, move the
<span>~/data/postfix/spool/pid</span>/master.pid someplace, then zmmtactl start (which gets saslauthd started but not postfix) then "postfix stop" and "postfix start" and everything is OK again. All commands executed as the Zimbra user.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Except now I'm seeing the ownership permissions of
<span>~/data/postfix/spool/pid</span> all over the place, so asking what others are seeing and what should the ownership be?</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">On one system that has never had an issue with Postfix restarting, all of the files are owned by postfix:postfix with 600 perms.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">On the system where I just executed my hack, the master.pid, unix.error and unix.trace files are owned by root:root (with all other files owned by postfix:postfix). The old master.pid was owned by postfix:postfix.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">On another system which has had this issue intermittently, unix.trace is owned by root:root and everything else by postfix:postfix.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">So before I open a Support Case with Zimbra, I thought I'd ask here what others are seeing, and what your workaround has been.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
