Making progress.......SuSE's uname is part of the problem... uname -n reports only the short hostname, i.e. 'domain-name' instead of the fqdn. Temporary work around is to add the fqdn using the hostname command, then amavis will start. I thought that amvis was supposed to use what you assign to the variable $myhostname in the config??

I got a nice error message saying amavisd.conf is missing, so amavis IS at least checking for the existence of the config file. Next I installed the config file and played around changing the $mydomain variable. I tried removing the hyphen from the domain so that it read $mydomain = 'domainname.com' I still get the error message saying 'domain-name' is not a fqdn.....so this proves that the variable is not being read from the config file and is being supplied in error from somewhere else, possibly uname? -----Original Message----- From: Donald G.
