Amavis trouble with Postfix
 

Hi,

I changed over from using Exim on my Domain server as I wasn't happy with it.

Now I'm trying to get Amavis working with Spamassassin and ClamAV, so I found a few sites on google however I keep getting errors when Amavis tries to start scanning the email.

Also I can't understand why Amavis can't connect to socket:

as the dir is there?:
As a result I had many error emails sent back to me when I tried using my other accounts to send a test mail to my server - this is why I ran away from Exim in the first place!

Can anyone help me with how to solve this issue?

Many Thanks

What's the output of ?
Are amavisd or Postfix running chrooted?

OptiplexGX270T:/home/kayasaman# ls -la /var/run/clamav
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 2 clamav clamav 4096 2008-07-21 14:14 .
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 2008-07-21 13:40 ..
srwxrwxrwx 1 clamav clamav 0 2008-07-21 14:14 clamd.ctl
-rw-rw---- 1 clamav clamav 4 2008-07-21 14:14 clamd.pid
-rw-rw---- 1 clamav clamav 4 2008-07-21 13:39 freshclam.pid

Is output.

How can I test for amavisd and postfix is using chrooted?

I don't think they are but I'm not certain.

What's in /etc/postfix/master.cf?

What happens when you replace
with
and restart Postfix?

I had a pretty fast delivery of mail so it seems to have worked I guess but I had another problem with aliases.db file which was older then file aliases.

I did: nano /etc/aliases.db then ctrl o and restart postfix now my whole mail system seems to have gone kablueey?

Not sure if this is used by postfix and if I can simply rm /etc/aliases.db and let it create a new one.

Anyway I can't be certain if the above worked untilll this works and I can read my mails posted by logcheck as they give me verbosity in amavis output!

Have to run to work now but will investigate more about the aliases.db later when I come back.

hmm just found the newaliases command am seeing if it works! - but now I really need to get work :)

Ok aliases.db probelm fixed!!!! Few now I really gota run be back later heheheh

Ok finally I just checked the output of logcheck and amavis doesn't seem to be mentioned at all with mail delivery so I'm taking this to be a good sign.

Can't find any logs for it so for now all I can do is wait till the next delivery of logcheck mail and see if things are consistant!

-But all looks promising :)
