Amavis just won't play along
Hi all, I started by ticking the box to do virus scanning when I set up postfix through Yast2 (SuSE 8.2 Pro). Amavis won't work (figured this out in a previous post), mail doesn't get delivered - disabling vscan in postfix's main.cf enables mail to get delivered. After much googling and reading docs and howtows, I eventualy gave up and tried replacing amavis-posftix with amavisd-postfix. Now I get the following in my log: Dec 1 12:30:33 ncshans amavis[25091]: mail forwarding failed, retry: Failure to connect to local SMTP port: Connection refused at /usr/sbin/amavisd line 1134, <GEN0> line 12. From what I understand, amavisd wants to send the mail pack to postfix on port 10025. I went as far as disabling my firewall, but it still won't connect there. How do I allow this to happen? Is there anything special I need to do to get amavis working? I expected it to work once I finished the Yast2 setup. Thanks Hans

Patrick, thanks, I have done that - problem seems to be that amavis wants to connect to postfix on port 10025 which doesn't want to happen. I don't know why, I've disabled the firewall on this machine completely. I'll go over everything again carefully tomorrow and report back Thanks Hans
