Thanks to all who helped, and especially Sandy, I've got my suse 10.0 box running my mail server now. My 8.2 box soon to be re-tasked. Mostly default postfix with cyrus imap. I do plan to add pop at some point for some email users. I've never used amavis before, nor spamassassin, and was wondering if someone could help me get kick started. I have amavisd-new installed from the 10.0 dvd, not yet installed spamassassin. I'm under the impresson that these both work together? I am getting mail in and out, but /var/log/warn shows many many of the following: Jan 25 18:53:16 cammee amavis[24374]: (24374-07) WARN: all primary virus scanners failed, considering backups Jan 25 19:01:26 cammee amavis[24336]: (24336-08) WARN: all primary virus scanners failed, considering backups Jan 25 19:01:52 cammee amavis[24374]: (24374-08) WARN: all primary virus scanners failed, considering backups Jan 25 19:02:11 cammee amavis[24336]: (24336-09) WARN: all primary virus scanners failed, considering backups I assume that I don't have anything actually configured in amavisd.conf, but not sure what to enable. And not at all sure how spamassassin fits into all this. Any pointers most welcome. Jim
