Maybe it would be a good idea to start amavisd-new? It seems your 
content-filter on port 10024 (standard port for amavisd-new is not 
working.
rcamavisd status?
rcamavisd start?
log entries after starting?
Send another testmail now.
if it works:
postsuper -R ALL

OK, I have my nat router set to issue addresses to 192.168.1.110/120. 
The new server is 192.168.1.117.
Just give the server a static ip, do not use a dynamic one, lest some 
day all your forwarded ports on your router point to a different pc 
and not your server.

I'm not sure at this point what to name my server. The default 
install uses linux.local. On my old machine I have been usung 
successfully something like that, myserver.local, and had postfix 
using example.com as masquerade_domain.
example.com is a domain name that is used exclusively for examples. 
Just set up a name and stick with it. You probably want to access your 
server from the internet side later, so set up a ddns name 
(dyndns.org, no-ip.org etc.).

Hi Sandy,
Running amavis start returns...
/etc/init.d/amavis start returned 7 (program is not running):
Starting virus-scanner (amavisd-new):  The value of variable $myhostname is "cammee", but should have been
  a fully qualified domain name; perhaps uname(3) did not provide such.
  You must explicitly assign a FQDN of this host to variable $myhostname
  in amavisd.conf, or fix what uname(3) provides as a host's network name!
..failed

So, it is getting fouled up wiht my hostname at present. I'm not clear 
as to what style to use as my host name. My postfix book says to use an 
fqdn, but I did not need to do that on my 8.2 box. I have jjfiii dot com 
set up as my fqdn, but my old 8.2 box has a hostname of something.local. 
As stated before, I used masquerade_domains = jjfiii dot com. That 
worked on that set up. Doen't seem to work on this one.

Anyway, could I just use anyname as my server name, and re-set it in 
amavise, or do I really need to set my server name to my fqdn??

Tks,

Jim
