From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Description of problem: The postfix RPM is missing the /var/spool/postfix/etc directory. As a result of this, the /etc/resolv.conf files copied into /var/spool/postfix/etc at startup time ends up as /var/spool/postfix/etc (file) instead of /var/spool/postfix/etc/resolv.conf Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): postfix-2.0.11-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -ql postfix | grep var/spool/postfix/etc Actual Results: nothing Expected Results: Should display /var/spool/postfix/etc Additional info: Postfix in chroot environment is probably not able to resolve hostnames.
Well, the startup script changes really suck. You might want to learn about changes in the configuration file (e.g. the queue_directory setting), the postconf command and basically apply the attached patch. The same bug pretty sure applies to Fedora.
Created attachment 100037 [details] patch to /etc/init.d/postfix to get queue_directory from configuration
This has already been resolved, but perhaps not in the manner you prefer. Just so you understand we are no longer putting postfix in a chroot jail. Wieste is no longer recommending chroot jails for typical installations, the security benefits are dwarfed by the configuration and maintenance problems especially as more postfix installations take advantage of other system services such as SASL, LDAP, pam, etc. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 111923 ***
