Alternatively, you can just remove the --name option

root# start-stop-daemon --stop --oknodo --pidfile /var/run/postgrey.pid

Also since

root:~# /etc/init.d/postgrey stop

does not stop the daemon, then

root:~# /etc/init.d/postgrey reload

means that the configuration files in /etc/postgrey are *not* reread. You have to manually kill the postgrey daemon and
then start it. Not obvious, if you're trying to figure out why emails are disappearing.
