[Bug 1656585] [NEW] OpenDKIM fails to load when comments are present

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

Affects: OpenDKIM version 2.10.3

If a comment is present after the `SOCKET=` line in
`/etc/default/opendkim` like below, OpenDKIM will fail to launch, citing
invalid usage.

    # Command-line options specified here will override the contents of
    # /etc/opendkim.conf. See opendkim(8) for a complete list of options.
    #DAEMON_OPTS=""
    #
    # Uncomment to specify an alternate socket
    # Note that setting this will override any Socket value in opendkim.conf
    #SOCKET="local:/var/run/opendkim/opendkim.sock" # default
    #SOCKET="inet:54321" # listen on all interfaces on port 54321
    #SOCKET="inet:12345@localhost" # listen on loopback on port 12345
    #SOCKET="inet:12345@192.0.2.1" # listen on 192.0.2.1 on port 12345
    SOCKET="inet:12301@localhost" # just a "harmless" little comment
