Hi!

I set up an error report on this already (0001076
<http://www.dbmail.org/mantis/view.php?id=1076>), but I thought I'd ask the
mailing list too. If you've already seen the error report and aren't really
sure how to fix this issue, thanks for trying, and I apologize for filling
your inbox.

We're testing DBMail 3.2.3 on a RHEL 7 server, as part of upgrading our
existing DBMail routing servers. Unfortunately, every time we start
dbmail-pop3d or dbmail-lmtpd, both services get stuck on "enabled but
inactive" and refuse to go anywhere.

The Repo we're using defaults to effective_user nobody, effective_group
nobody. In the bug report, someone suggested that we change that to dbmail
/ dbmail, as the repo creates a dbmail user, and the nobody / nobody thing
should be a bug. However, after changing this, we're still running into the
same issue at the same point in the process.

The exact messages are this:

---When LMTPD fails to start:---
dbmail-lmtpd.service - DBMail LMTP Server
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dbmail-lmtpd.service; enabled)
Active: inactive (dead) since Wed 2015-11-11 16:18:43 CST; 2s ago

status=0/SUCCESS)

---When POP3D successfully starts:---

I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have. I'll admit, I'm fairly new
to managing DBMail servers, so there's a good chance the issue originated
from a ID10T error on my end.
