Hi all,
my /var/log/mail.warn is full of this message :

opendkim[30622]: OpenDKIM Filter: Unable to bind to port
inet:8891_at_localhost: Address already in use
opendkim[30622]: OpenDKIM Filter: Unable to create listening socket on
conn inet:8891_at_localhost

and my var/log/mail.log is full of this one :
opendkim[16467]: OpenDKIM Filter v2.5.1 starting (args: -x
/etc/opendkim.conf -u opendkim)
opendkim[16467]: OpenDKIM Filter: Unable to bind to port
inet:8891_at_localhost: Address already in use
opendkim[16467]: OpenDKIM Filter: Unable to create listening socket on
conn inet:8891_at_localhost
opendkim[16467]: OpenDKIM Filter v2.5.1 terminating with status -1,
errno = 98
opendkim[20197]: exited with status 255, restarting

I do not know what happen...

may I try to kill opendkim but doing a "killall opendkim" without any risk ?
if so, will I be abble to restart the opendkim process by just doing
|"/etc/init.d/opendkim start|"

thanks for your help

Denis
