Amavid.conf in "Virutal Users and Domains with Postfix, Courier and MySQL (+SMTP
 

I'm using the howto "Virtual Users and Domains with Postfix, Courier and MySQL (+SMTP-AUTH, Quota, SpamAssassin, ClamAV)

I've copy and pasted the amavisd.conf from the howto and when issuing the command /etc/init.d/amavis restart I get an error near ) I've put a remark next to where the message says the error is occurring. I've included a few lines before and after the error. Thanks for any help.

What's the exact error message?

The error message is:

mail2:/etc/amavis# /etc/init.d/amavis restart
Stopping amavisd: (not running).
Starting amavisd: Error in config file /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf: syntax error at /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf line 205, near ")"
(failed).

Thanks!

Please make sure you saved the file with Unix linebreaks and not Windows linebreaks.

Using Putty, I did a copy and paste from the Howto. The line numbers are different as after doing the paste the first time, I spent the time in vi doing some formating for readability. Without the cleanup, I still get the same error.

mail2:/etc/amavis# /etc/init.d/amavis restart
Stopping amavisd: (not running).
Starting amavisd: Error in config file /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf: syntax error at /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf line 13, near ")"
(failed).
mail2:/etc/amavis#

Thanks...

Now it's in line 13? That's far away from the first error... :confused:

I should have sent the line number in error using the original file and not the one I formatted. I formatted for readability so that I could easily read and try to learn what was going on since I'm a newbie.

Are you using Debian Sarge?

Yes, I am. I installed part 1 and part 2 using the howto.

And you're sure you followed it as close as possible? Because it is working for me exactly as outlined in the tutorial. After I wrote the tutorial I followed it again to verify there are no errors in it.
