A customer mailserver that had been running fine for years with amavisd-new-2.5.4-1.el5.rf and hand-compiled amavisd-milter 1.4.0 got broken by the recent update to amavisd-new-2.8.0-1.el5.rf because of the incompatibility described here:
http://www.mentby.com/Group/amavis-user/amavisd-new-270-pre4-amavisd-milter-failed-patch.html The solution is obviously to update the ancient amavisd-milter, and the best way would of course be to switch to a maintained package. Now Repoforge does offer a package named amavisd-new-milter, but I am encountering great difficulties getting it to work. 1st, yum install amavisd-new-milter failed with --> Missing Dependency: amavisd-new = 2.6.6-3.el5.rf is needed by package amavisd-new-milter-2.6.6-3.el5.rf.x86_64 (rpmforge) I could work around this by downgrading amavisd-new from version 2.8.0-1 to 2.6.6-3 which is fortunately still available. 2nd, the amavisd-new-milter package contains no documentation whatsoever, just two executables: [root@mail ~]# rpm -ql amavisd-new-milter /usr/sbin/amavis /usr/sbin/amavis-milter 3rd and worst, it doesn't work. After figuring out how to start /usr/sbin/amavis-milter from its usage message, sendmail succeeds in connecting to it, but each mail delivery attempt results in: amavis-milter[15328]: r2LH1sKw015336: (mlfi_eoh) amavis-milter[15328]: r2LH1sKw015336: (mlfi_eom) amavis-milter[15328]: r2LH1sKw015336: (mlfi_eom) allocate socket() amavis-milter[15328]: r2LH1sKw015336: (mlfi_eom) connect amavis-milter[15328]: r2LH1sKw015336: (mlfi_eom) failed to connect(): No such file or directory amavis-milter[15328]: r2LH1sKw015336: (mlfi_eom) communication failure amavis-milter[15328]: r2LH1sKw015336: (mlfi_cleanup) deleting temp file amavis-milter[15328]: r2LH1sKw015336: (mlfi_cleanup) clearing message variables sendmail[15336]: r2LH1sKw015336: Milter: data, reject=451 4.3.2 Please try again later Without documentation I don't know how to find out what's going wrong here. Is there any documentation available for that package? Does it work at all? How is it supposed to be used? aTdHvAaNnKcSe Tilman
