I was having the same issue when trying to bind outgoing mails to one interface, which usually worked with the smtp_bind_address without Amavis being involved.

With Amavis you also have to add this interface to the Amavis config, because per default Amavis accepts only connections via the Loopback interface.

For my Debian based systems i added

@inet_acl = qw( 127.0.0.1 [::1] IP/MASK );

to the 50-user file in /etc/amavis/conf.d

What is the current solution for this with ISPCFG3? I am having the same issue but this thread is from 2010...

See Post #13 in this thread.

Thanks but will I have to edit /etc/amavis/conf.d again after I update ISPCFG3 and select to reconfigure services?

[Ovidiu]

seeing that I had no answer to this question, here are some more:

is this correct:

add smtp_bind_address=outgoing_IP to my postfix configuration
then add @inet_acl = qw( 127.0.0.1 [::1] IP/MASK ); to the 50-user file in /etc/amavis/conf.d
restart postfix and amavis, all set?

so what about the the 50-user file in /etc/amavis/conf.d ?
will I have to update it after every ISPCFG3 update?

This is my first time checking out this amavis config file and I am wondering about those settings:

i.e. $sa_tag_level_deflt = 20.0; - does this or the settings defined in ISPCFG3 have precedence?

Dont edit the 50-user file. Create you own file for custom settings which get included after the 50-udser like "60-custom" and add your changes there.

i.e. $sa_tag_level_deflt = 20.0; - does this or the settings defined in ISPCFG3 have precedence?

The settings in ispconfig, otherwise it would not make much sense to offer settings in ispcobnfig at all

creating my own file i.e. 60-custom is enough? it will be automatically picked up by amavis if it exists?

one more error with above solution:

then add @inet_acl = qw( 127.0.0.1 [::1] IP/MASK ); to the 50-user file in /etc/amavis/conf.d

amavis doesn't start and my logs say:

yes.

amavis doesn't start and my logs say:

IP/MASK is a placeholder, you have to replace it with the Ip and netmask that you want to allow connections to amavisd. If you wamt to add only one IP, then you have to set the IP without mask.
