[SOLVED] Postfix master process exits immediately on startup

Symptom: Postfix says it has started, but when checked the daemon is not running.

Troubleshooting: Upon deeper investigation, logs reveal an error message like the following:

/var/log/mail.log wrote:

<timestamp> <hostname> postfix/master[<pid id>]: fatal: 0.0.0.0:smtp: Servname not supported for ai_socktype

Problem: /etc/services file is missing, causing the Postfix master process to exit immediately on startup.

Solution: Reinstall the package iana-etc, or restore the services file from your /etc backup.
