Topic: After installation not starting policyd... (FreeBSD)

I have FreeBSD + iRedMail-0.7.2 installed
All Ok. But, when i want to send a mail to my new server, I got the following error

Policyd is not running.
Any error log when you start policyd service?

Seems HOME directory of policyd user doesn't exist. Please create it manually.

Re: After installation not starting policyd... (FreeBSD)

I just had this same issue on a CentOS box. Manually creating /home/policyd and chowning it to policyd did fix the error.

However, I am confused as to why this would happen.

Why, after almost a year of running correctly would this all of a sudden happen? There was no /home/policyd directory before and email was working fine.
