[Bug 430411] [NEW] socket file location doesn't support chroot'd postfix smtpd, which is default

[Stephen Warren]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: spamass-milter

A default postfix install, at least on Jaunty, runs smtpd chroot'd.

/etc/init.d/spamass-milter contains this:

if [ -x /usr/sbin/postfix ]; then
    SOCKET="/var/spool/postfix/spamass/spamass.sock"

which is fine for non-chroot'd smtpd, but doesn't work for chroot'd
smtpd.

To solve this, I did something like:

mkdir -p /var/spool/postfix/var/spool/postfix/spamass
ln /var/spool/postfix/spamass/spamass.sock spamass.sock

It'd be nice if the spamass-milter package packaged that directory/link,
or created them on install or startup; that way, chroot'd smtpd would
"just work".
