Bug Description
I upgraded my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to 16.04.1 LTS and now I have a problem with my postgrey installation. When I (re)boot the server, the postgrey startup script is apparently called but postgrey does not launch correctly. Only after manually restarting the service is postgrey working correctly.
In more detail: After reboot the following lines appear in my syslog:
Dec 1 19:22:14 systemd[1]: Starting LSB: Start/stop the postgrey daemon...
Dec 1 19:22:14 postgrey[998]: * Starting postfix greylisting daemon postgrey
Dec 1 19:22:15 postgrey[1050]: Process Backgrounded
Dec 1 19:22:15 postgrey[1050]: 2016/12/01-19:22:15 postgrey (type Net::Server:
Dec 1 19:22:15 postgrey[998]: ...done.
Dec 1 19:22:15 systemd[1]: Started LSB: Start/stop the postgrey daemon.
When I then ps for postgrey, no process is found. However, a simple sudo systemctl restart postgrey makes it run properly. The launch is documented in syslog as follows:
Dec 1 19:25:54 systemd[1]: Stopping LSB: Start/stop the postgrey daemon...

As you can see, this time postgrey documents its binding to the correct port. When I look through my ps output now, I can see the working process there.
My suspicion is that the network is not yet ready. If I edit `/etc/init.
