Hi all,

This is still going awry....

[root at munich]/home/benfell# systemctl status postfix
postfix.service - Postfix Mail Transport Agent
    Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/postfix.service; enabled)
    Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2014-07-02 05:00:31 PDT; 9h  
ago
   Process: 1196 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/postfix start (code=exited,  
status=1/FAILURE)
   Process: 1194 ExecStartPre=/usr/libexec/postfix/chroot-update  
(code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
   Process: 371 ExecStartPre=/usr/libexec/postfix/aliasesdb (code=exited,  
status=75)

The restart (several hours later when I discover the problem) succeeds.

[root at munich]/home/benfell# ls -al /etc/systemd/system/multi- 
user.target.wants/postfix.service
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Jul  1 18:42 /etc/systemd/system/multi- 
user.target.wants/postfix.service -> /etc/systemd/system/postfix.service

[Unit]
Description=Postfix Mail Transport Agent
Requires=network.target
After=syslog.target network.target
Conflicts=sendmail.service exim.service

[Service]
Type=forking
PIDFile=/var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/network
ExecStartPre=-/usr/libexec/postfix/aliasesdb
ExecStartPre=-/usr/libexec/postfix/chroot-update
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/postfix start
ExecReload=/usr/sbin/postfix reload
ExecStop=/usr/sbin/postfix stop

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

This is the postfix service file as modified per the exchange yesterday.  
I'm sure glad I have a secondary server for both mail and DNS, because nsd  
is failing also.
