Bug Description

Postfix 3.3.0 [1] is available in bionic at the time of writing and added support for running in containers by having the master process running in the foreground. 3.3.1 bugfix release [2] became available May 20 with a fix for using this feature:

> Postfix did not support running as a PID=1 process, which complicated Postfix deployment in

> process if possible.

Along with other bugfixes done in this release, I'd like to request an update for Postfix bionic to 3.3.1.

Thanks!

Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu, and sorry for getting to it so late.

This seems like a reasonable bugfix request.

Upstream patch that brought postfix from 3.3.0 to 3.3.1 and includes the fix: https://github.com/vdukhovni/postfix/commit/1d4b403e285f09103644695560cca406c5400163

The actual fix shouldn't be hard to extract from that.

Would you be able to provide a simple testcase for this bug? Something simple that breaks with 3.3.0, and should work with 3.3.1?

This still isn't actionable so I unsubscribed ubuntu-server for now.
But surely, if there is an update providing this testcase as requested by Andreas it can be looked at again.
