I'm new to OpenBSD and in the process of learning OpenSMTPD. I would have expected some sort of "restart" option from the smtpctl
command, but it only has a stop
with no start
which might force a reread of smtpd.conf
so changes take effect. Outside of rebooting the server, is the correct approach to kill smtpd
followed by executing /etc/rc.d/smtpd
somehow in the background? I feel like I'm missing something.

Try:
/etc/rc.d/smtpd restart
If that doesn't work, go for
/etc/rc.d/smtpd stop
/etc/rc.d/smtpd start

3don't forget **rcctl(8)**. I believe that is now the encouraged method, although functionally it is pretty much the same thing – pete Nov 21 '15 at 01:50
