I saw something with almost the same code as in > /usr/sbin/amavisd-new It is not hard to tell if a file is a Maia file, I'm sure you will find the words "Maia Mailguard" in the file. Let me ask you: Have you installed the Debian version of amavisd-new? I assume you have because you have a file named /usr/sbin/amavisd-new >> Before you do anything, make sure you have not stopped amavisd, >> then run 'ps aux | grep amavis' and let us know what it says. > # ps aux | grep amavis > amavis 26876 0.0 1.5 35372 32152 ?

Are you really typing ./amavis ? You said "when I use ./amavisd" What directory are you in when you run this command? If you are running as root, cd to root's home directory and issue the same commands above without using the "./" and tell me what happens in each case. Answer this: After the system is rebooted, do you have to do anything to start Maia, or is it already running? If you have to do something, EXACTLY what is it you do? >> At some point you may have missed two important concepts: >> 1) The Debian name for amavisd is amavisd-new. >> 2) Maia does not work *with* amavisd-new, it *replaces* it. > 1) Yes, sorry..... typo :) > 2) Yes I understand now, but you forst have to install it ? From you > earlier post I understood you shouldn't. Please explain again. It's a simple concept. To install Maia on a Debian system, first you would install the Debian version of amavisd-new. Then you would follow the instructions supplied with Maia to install Maia. The hard part is to keep this in mind: the file names and directory names will be different on a Debian system than the examples in the instructions. The example may show /usr/local/sbin/amavisd for the program name but Debian uses /usr/sbin/amavisd-new for the program name The example may show /var/amavis is the amavis directory but Debian uses /var/lib/amavis The example may show /etc/amavisd.conf but Debian uses /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf and so on, and so on. If you use the standard Maia production files, you replace /usr/sbin/amavisd-new with the Maia patched version of amavisd. You would also have to create a symbolic link from /etc/amavisd.conf to /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf or Maia will not start. Here is an example, but don't do this right now: ln -s /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf /etc/amavisd.conf I will have to assume that it is also possible that you have obtained some Maia files that are not the standard production files and they have special names so they don't get confused with the production version. If this is the case, you typically would prevent the Debian version of amavisd-new from starting itself up when the system reboots, and you would either have to manually start up Maia, or modify the existing amavisd-new startup script to start up Maia *instead* of amavisd-new. >> Gary V >> > When I rename maia-amavisd.conf and restart amavis I get this indeed as > you was supposing: > /amavis restart > Stopping amavisd: (not running). > Starting amavisd: Config file /etc/amavisd.conf does not exist at > /usr/sbin/amavisd-new line 595. > (failed). you used "/amavis restart" again. Do you really start a program this way, or is this another typo? Is this how you normally start Maia? This also shows that this program was not running and will never run without a configuration file. OK, it appears that here you are trying to start up either an original version of amavisd (not the Debian version), or the Maia version of amavisd. How do I know this? Because on a Debian system, amavisd.conf is stored in /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf, and the program you are running is looking for /etc/amavisd.conf. Conclusion: I would say that you are probably running the Debian version of amavisd-new and are using /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf as the configuration file.
