Hi,
I would like to know if the Postfix 'wrapper' program will start the spamd or clamd if the daemons when new email arrives,
<snip>
It's a bit different:
- fetchmail polls the mails from the ISP and submits them to Postfix - Postfix has a content_filter setting that feeds the mails to amavisd-new - amavisd-new is the framework that calls virus and spam scanning - after checking the mails are returned to Postfix - Postfix finally delivers the mails to the imap server (or directly to maildir)
<snip>
...I occasionally see that Spamd or Clamd have 'Failed' i.e. are not 'Done'.
This must not happen. The system start must work reliable and be able to start all required daemons.
What would the command be to manually start these daemons/apps/services or will Postfix start them when new email is passed to it from Fetchmail OR should I rather reboot the system and see that none of the processes/services/apps/daemons fail?
Check if all required daemons are configured to start automatically:
chkconfig postfix chkconfig amavis chkconfig clamd chkconfig cyrus/courier-imap/dovecot whatever...
Thanks for that. All checked and all on. Of course further man reading told me more about the chkconfig command, and I know how how to start the relevant services that fail to start at boot. i.e. #>chkconfig <daemonname> on Would there be any notification, and where could I view it i.e. F10 or /var/log/messages, of other parent services that also need to be started, after starting a child service?
