oddity on ms start

[Jeremy McSpadden]

Ok .. lets start over.

If i start using 'restart' .. everything works fine. it starts postfix, processes mail, etc.
If i start using 'start' ... i get nothing. nothing in logs, nothing starts.

The problem is not that MS doesnt work, debug shows no errors. mail flows just fine "ONCE" i get it started using 'restart' .. the init scripts 'start' .. produces absolutely nothing.

Running in debug (as the postfix user) will you clues as to what's (not) happening

MailScanner --debug

And carefully examine the output
