Well, a mail server daemon must not be run until it is completely
configured, in particular when manual configuration is needed,
e.g. to set up aliases and/or to check if some disk is mounted.
Otherwise this means that mail will be rejected. Because of that,
I potentially lost mail on an Ubuntu machine. But I think that
Debian has/had the same problem.
