Hi There, Im using sendmail and amavis on a suse 9.0 (32 bit) machine along with sophos antivirus. Ive said yes to the "use amavis" in the amavis file inside /etc/sysconfig. Amavis starts up fine, sendmail starts up fine (without any error messages). ive configured amavisd.conf as per the instructions in /usr/share/doc/ packages/amavis. Ive also run /etc/SuSEconfig to recreate any neccessary conf files, and then rebooted the server. but when i send the eicar test virus, it doesnt virus scan at all! But no errors, nothing saying amavis or sendmail have a problem. Sendmail just ISNT sending the email to amavis! Any ideas what i am doing wrong? Id attach the config files, but im assuming that this mailing list would chop them off? Hwyl, Elf

Rebooted? This isn't Windows. Gotta ask, (don't be insulted...) You ARE running sendmail instead of the SuSE default of postfix right? Right? -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Probably nothing. There's a bug in SuSEconfig.sendmail (which is responsible for creating the correct /etc/sendmail.cf for amavisd-new). Please apply the attached patch to /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.sendmail and run SuSEconfig again. Grep for amavis in /etc/sendmail.cf then to see if the correct settings for amavis have been written. Kudos to Dirk Borches who found the bug originally back in November 2003.

When did that creep in? I had no problem with SuSE 8.2 and amavis and sendmail. Must be a SuSE 9 thing, right? -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

This buglet creep in for SUSE 9 due to the switch from amavis-sendmail / amavisd-sendmail to amavisd-new. best regards, Rainer Link
