hi-

i'm using opendkim with ldap, and softstart appears to not be working.
as per opendkim.conf(5), i've enabled softstart:

egrep -v '(^[[:space:]]*#|^[[:space:]]*$)' opendkim.conf
PidFile /run/opendkim/opendkim.pid
Syslog yes
SyslogSuccess yes
LogWhy yes
UMask 002
BaseDirectory /etc/opendkim
Socket inet:dkim-filter_at_localhost
Mode s
Quarantine no
RemoveOldSignatures no
SubDomains no
SoftStart yes
LDAPUseTLS yes
LDAPBindUser cn=opendkim,ou=exo,ou=services,ou=accounts,dc=example,dc=com
LDAPBindPassword xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
InternalHosts localhost, 192.0.2.1
Selector default
KeyFile /etc/opendkim/keys/default-private_key.pem
Domain
ldap://dsa.example.com/ou=domains,ou=mail,dc=example,dc=com?host?sub?(host=$d)

but opendkim still fails to start if the ldap server is not available:

>/usr/sbin/opendkim -u opendkim -x /etc/opendkim/opendkim.conf
opendkim: /etc/opendkim/opendkim.conf:
ldap://dsaexample.com/ou=domains,ou=mail,dc=example,dc=com?host?sub?(host=$d):
dkimf_db_open(): Can't contact LDAP server

>echo $?
78i

>opendkim -V
