Hello friends please my POSTEFIXE it stops by itself all the time even if I restart it it stops again and again please can someone help me

Hello,

There must be an error in one of the Postfix files. You can check it by running:

systemctl restart postfix && systemctl status postfix -l --no-pager

Check the output and find a way to fix it.

Try also checking journal, e.g.:

journalctl -u postfix --since "30 minutes ago"

The active (exited) status seen in the previous screenshot indicates that Postfix is not running as a daemon but instead starts, performs its task, and exits.

This could be normal behavior if Postfix is configured to run in a specific mode or if it’s triggered by another process!

based on your experience and expertise what should I do

[Ilia]

I don’t know. Maybe grab a beer and take a break?

You can get to the services at startup from here to check the status. Not sure what the last one is but don’t make changes unless staff tells you too.
