Hi, i just rebuilt my server with updated versions of Spamassassin,amavis,postfix and i'm not sure amavis is working. when i do a ps -aux, i see it running but i don't see anything in maillog(log level is at 2). amavisd debug produces this- Jun 28 12:40:13 mta1.charmer.com /usr/local/sbin/amavisd[14046]: starting. /usr/local/sbin/amavisd at mta1.charmer.com amavisd-new-2.3.1 (20050509), Unicode aware, LANG=en_US Jun 28 12:40:13 mta1.charmer.com /usr/local/sbin/amavisd[14046]: user=, EUID: 0 (0); group=, EGID: 0 10 6 4 3 2 1 0 (0 10 6 4 3 2 1 0) Jun 28 12:40:13 mta1.charmer.com /usr/local/sbin/amavisd[14046]: Perl version 5.008 Jun 28 12:40:13 mta1.charmer.com /usr/local/sbin/amavisd[14046]: INFO: no optional modules: Encode::Unicode::UTF7 unicore::PVA.pl Mail::SpamAssassin::SQLBasedAddrList DBD::mysql Sys::Hostname::Long Mail::SPF::Query Net::CIDR::Lite Net::DNS::RR::SOA Net::DNS::RR::NS Net::DNS::RR::MX Net::DNS::RR::A Net::DNS::RR:: Net::DNS::RR::PTR Net::DNS::RR::CNAME Net::DNS::RR::TXT Jun 28 12:40:13 mta1.charmer.com /usr/local/sbin/amavisd[14046]: Net::Server: 2005/06/28-12:40:13 Pid_file already exists for running process (13962)... aborting\n\n at line 225 in file /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Net/Server.pm Jun 28 12:40:13 mta1.charmer.com /usr/local/sbin/amavisd[14046]: Net::Server: 2005/06/28-12:40:13 Server closing!

RE: [AMaViS-user] how do you tell?
i have those dirs with all the correct perms. i telnet'ed to 10024 and was able to send myself an email but i still see no sa or amavisd in the maillog. it wasn't working before because i had av scanner set to run but no av software installed. after i installed clamav, it was working but still nothing in the maillog or spam stas. thanks -Original Message- From: Gary V [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2005 2:04 PM To: Kern, Tom Cc: amavis-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [AMaViS-user] how do you tell?

thats weird. i entered it and it works. last time i didn't have that line in main.cf only the master.cf stuff and it worked. Thats really bizzare. now the only error i get is - ClamAV-clamd: Can't connect to UNIX socket /tmp/clamd: Connection refused, retrying (2) clamav user is a member of amavis group and amavis user and group have full rights on that file Thanks -Original Message- From: Gary V [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2005 2:35 PM To: Kern, Tom Cc: amavis-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [AMaViS-user] how do you tell?

If you don't have a 'content_filter' setting at all, then this is probably the correct setting, and the reason nothing happens. If you do have some sort of 'content_filter' setting, tell us what it is. remember to 'postfix reload' Then tail -f /var/log/maillog and send an email through. You know you can simply set up an email client's outgoing SMTP server to your RHEL3 box and send real mail through it.

RE: [AMaViS-user] how do you tell?
that doesn't work.
when i try to start clamd manually, i get this -
ERROR: Please edit the example config file /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf.
ERROR: Can't open/parse the config file /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf
i'm getting tried of clamav.
i don't understand why the earlier verison i ran was in /etc/ and now this
verison is in that path for no reason whatsoever.
my clamd.conf and amavisd.conf point to the same socket dir and clamd is a
member of amavis group which has rwx on that dir. still it complains it can't
see it
maillog-
ClamAV-clamd: Can't connect to UNIX socket /tmp/clamd/clamd.sock: No such file
or directory, retrying (1)
i don't get it.

If only it were that simple. i do have a amavis group with gid of 999 from my /etc/group- amavis:x:999: The amavis user and group have full rights on the /var/amavis dir. What else? thanks Mark Martinec wrote: Tom, I'm running Amavis-new-2.3.1 with Postfix(not chrooted) on redhat ES 3 When I try to reload or stop amavis, I get- No PID file /var/amavis/amavisd.pid, can't reload the process Because most likely amavisd is not running. /usr/local/sbin/amavisd[7870]: Net::Server: Setting gid to 999 999 Jun 27 13:49:18 mta1.charmer.com /usr/local/sbin/amavisd[7870]: Net::Server: 2005/06/27-13:49:18 Couldn't become gid 999: \n\n at line 486 in file /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Net/Server.pm See?

RE: [AMaViS-user] Pid error
2 questions- 1.how do i uninstall Net::Server? 2. Where can i get an earlier version? CPAN is gonna want to give me the newest version. Thanks for all your help. I guess it would be too much to ask why the newer version seems to break things(or why RHEL breaks the new version)?
