Emailrelay package error - not reading from it's config file?

[pestevao]

Hello,

I’ve been using emailrelay package with success on OpenWRT 22.
I’ve install and migrate to OpenWRT 25 almost directly - some “cosmetic” adaptations on some configs - but emailrelay isn’t working.

If I use config from the old OpenWRT it does not work. I thing it was from beeing old format.
Tried with OpenWRT 25, changing the values… no goog too.

I check in top command and dispite the changes on config file it always display /usr/bin/emailrelay –no-daemon wich is the base command.

So I end up editing the /etc/init.d/emailrelay file to append the desire flags and…

After a service restart… it works! And in top it shows with all appended flags too.

And I’m able to send emails from OpenWRT router again

But this was only for testing I wish to make the service read from it’s config file and not changing manually their init.d file!

It seems to me that the init.d file is not picking the configs from /etc/config/emailrelay as it should. I haven’t change nothing more than my print shows in the init.d file so it is exactly as it shows on https://github.com/openwrt/packages/blob/master/mail/emailrelay/files/emailrelay.init.

Any clue?

Thank you, Pedro

Solved!
Changed the init.d script to:

#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.common

START=90

USE_PROCD=1
PROG=/usr/bin/emailrelay
NAME=emailrelay

handle_dnsbl() {
procd_append_param command --dnsbl "$1"
}

handle_filter() {
procd_append_param command --filter "$1"
}

handle_client_filter() {
procd_append_param command --client-filter "$1"
}

handle_interface() {
procd_append_param command --interface "$2=$1"
}

Have only tested in proxy mode which is the only method I’m using and can test and that previously wasn’t started at all with the default /etc/init.d/emailrelay file.

Followed the https://emailrelay.sourceforge.net/reference.html for the args formatting style.
