Hi all,

I'm posting from my school account because postfix blew up on my
usual mail server...

The problem is that I upgraded to the 1.1.11-20020918 version, compiled
fine, installed, then nothing happens on startup. It claims it starts:

# postfix start
postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system

However:

> netstat -an | grep 25
> ps auxw | grep master
acd 9836 0.0 0.1 1520 568 pts/0 S 18:17 0:00 grep -i master

BTW:

> uname -a
Linux spruce 2.4.19 #1 SMP Mon Sep 16 18:27:44 MDT 2002 sparc unknown

Other observations are no log entries (except the starting message), and
running master directly produces "Illegal Instruction" - but I'm not sure
if that's normal for running it directly or not. I assume not, and then
that would be why it's failing to start.

# /usr/libexec/postfix/master
Illegal instruction

master.cf is the default file, main.cf is of course customized, but I've
tried starting from scratch, commenting out stuff, no change. Starting
with no main.cf, master just exit(1)'s. With a blank main.cf, SIGILL.

Any ideas? I want to get it going within another day before my mail
stops queuing up one way or another. No, no secondary mx, it's
primarily just my email, so not exactly critical. Of course, I failed to
take backups of the old binaries. I did try to recompile the old version
(20011105), but no change, or perhaps I just didn't try hard enough.

Also tried the original release 1.1.11 (instead of 20020918), no change
again.

I've also reverted to the old kernel (2.4.19-pre4), as I upgraded that as
well 2 days ago, but no change using the old one. Other things that
changed recently was an upgrade to BIND (9.2.2rc1 from 9.1.2rc6 or something),
but not to the libresolv.so that postfix depends on, so that shouldn't affect
it. Also changed Apache/PHP, but that'd be really stretching it.

Please, any ideas are helpful. Thank you!

Aaron
