Comments on Postfix/amavisd - connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused

Thank you very much for this. I was getting this issue because amavis wasn't actually running. 

yes, starting the amavis was the solution...

thanks

Did you get a solution for the postfix/amavis hangs? I got exactly the same Problem. Every few days i have to restart postfix and amavis...

Starting amavisd: hostname: Name or service not known
  The value of variable $myhostname is "", but should have been
  a fully qualified domain name; perhaps uname(3) did not provide such.
  You must explicitly assign a FQDN of this host to variable $myhostname
  in /etc/amavis/conf.d/05-node_id, or fix what uname(3) provides as a host's
  network name!
(failed).

 When you receive this error make sure you edit your /etc/hosts file for your server like this (with your details):

[..]
192.168.0.100   server1.example.com     server1
[..]

and /etc/hostname:

[..]
server1.example.com
[..]

Thank you thank you!

 I just needed search for part of error to find this amazing and simple solution.

I forgot about the Amavis and you  helped me!

Best regards

The problem is with amavisd-new Edit /etc/amavis/conf.d/05-node_id Uncomment and fill in FQDN $myhostname = "name.of.server";

service amavisd-new restart

Tadaaa!!

Thank you! That solved it for me! ::cheers::

Hi Till,

I have the same here with fresh installation and following the instruction on Perfect server setup Ubuntu 20.04I did the install on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Debian 10, but ended with the same result. After ten or more times reinstalling I don't know where to search anymore. Maybe you know the answer, restarting Postfix and Amavis was not the solution for me.

Please post in the ISPConfig support forum if you need help with your ISPConfig installation: https://www.howtoforge.com/community/#ispconfig-3.23

A common mistake is that a wrong hostname is set on your server so that 'hostname -f' command on Linux fails to display the full (fqdn) hostname. In such a case, amavis will fail to start. Fix the hostname and start amavis then.
