I assume this is why my mail is not being delivered, but how does a process use a non existing user id? There are no files on the system with that id, and no processes that I see running with that user id.
Unless amavis or postfix is coming hardwired with this user id, how can I possibly find what is using it? This is a new setup with not much on it. -----Original Message----- From: owner-postfix-us...@postfix.org [mailto:owner-postfix-us...@postfix.org] On Behalf Of Wietse Venema Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 8:26 AM To: Postfix users Subject: Re: Postfix not speaking with amavis?

I did not compile it with Wrong question. Right question: "Why do I have processes with an UID that has no password file entry?" Wietse
