Maybe there's something wrong in amavisd.conf? I did check the configuration, but couldn't find any occurence. Neither has the configuration been modified in the last months according to the date/time stamp. > If you can't find any error message at the console (debug) please look > at your mail log file (/var/log/mail.err or /var/log/mail.info) if > there are any other errors logged. Couldn't find anything as well. :-( I'll also try to ask on the SA mailing list, I guess the error is thrown by the SA perl module.
