On all my fedora-38 machines sendmail is started at least three times (stopped two times). This is apparently due to the NetworkManager-dispatcher.service, which calls scripts in /usr/lib/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ especially 10-sendmail: --- #!/usr/bin/sh case "$2" in up|down|vpn-up|vpn-down) /bin/systemctl --no-block try-restart sendmail.service || : ;; esac --- Maybe sendmail.service should depend on network.target or network-online.target? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure and activate sendmail (including "systemctl enable sendmail") 2. Reboot machine 3. Execute "journalctl -b0 -u sendmail -u sm-client" (and note multiple starts) Actual Results: Output shows that sendmail/sm-client are started at least three times and stopped two times. Expected Results: Sendmail/sm-client should only be started once.
