Problem trying to start postsrsd service in 16.04

  • 772

When I try to start postsrsd with sudo service postsrsd start, it results in the following syslog entries: Started SRS lookup table for Postfix. /usr/sbin/postsrsd: option requires an argument -- 'd' postsrsd.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE The problem seems to be that variable SRS_DOMAIN in /etc/default/postsrsd is not being initialized with postconf -h mydomain. I assume that /etc/init.d/postsrsd is responsible for that, but I can't figure why it isn't doing it. The command postconf -h mydomain does yield the correct result.

Any ideas?

  1. I had upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04. There is a README in the postsrsd 1.2-1 Debian package which warns that postsrsd install will NOT overwrite any existing config files. I apt remove'd postsrsd, deleted /etc/init/postsrsd.conf, /etc/init.d/postsrsd, and /etc/default/postsrsd, then apt install'd postsrsd. This fixed the problem.
