My system uses SuSE 11.2. It is running the latest SuSE rpms.
I had this working then the server rebooted and now amavis won't start. In fact I seem to remember bothering one of the authors about the hostname bug. (There was a bug that hostnames with a hyphen weren't recognized as valid). I can't remember what the outcome was, but I know it was working for at least six months. Now mail won't deliver. I get the following error messages: Aug 9 12:23:40 host-name postfix/smtp[6551]: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused And I think the connection is refused because amavis is not running.

You must explicitly assign a FQDN of this host to variable $myhostname in amavisd.conf, or fix what uname(3) provides as a host's network name! failed The fqdn IS specified in /etc/ amavisd.conf -BUT amavis seems to ignore it. $myhostname=host-name.com THANKS for any help!! -don ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ AMaViS-user mailing list AMaViS-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/amavis-user Please visit http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/ regularly For administrativa requests please send email to rainer at openantivirus dot org
