Hello. Not sure if this message is coming from postfix or amavisd-new. I think it's amavisd-new
My situation; I run postfix 2.2.4, on a Debian testing system. I have amavisd-new being called, as a content filter, in a standard configuration (details at bottom of post). Amavisd-new version says it's 20030616. I don't always update amavisd-new; when I do, I just copy back my working config file. Isn't that where the version number comes from? My binary is from late 2004: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/sbin# ls -la amavisd-new -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 352457 Nov 30 2004 amavisd-new It's just so much work to transfer all the settings from my working config file to a new config file, that I just re-use the old config file. I know, I don't take advantage of new features this way. On to the problem: I seem to be rejecting email from our auditors, with this message in my mail.log: Feb 6 10:09:27 cliff-claven postfix/smtpd[25798]: connect from mail.bmc-llp.com[12.178.212.250] Feb 6 10:09:27 cliff-claven postfix/smtpd[25798]: 943FF180EC: client=mail.bmc-llp.com[12.178.212.250] Feb 6 10:09:27 cliff-claven postfix/cleanup[25799]: 943FF180EC: message-id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Feb 6 10:09:29 cliff-claven postfix/qmgr[780]: 943FF180EC: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=211359, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 6 10:09:29 cliff-claven postfix/smtpd[25798]: disconnect from mail.bmc-llp.com[12.178.212.250] Feb 6 10:09:40 cliff-claven postfix/smtp[25811]: 943FF180EC: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1],delay=13, status=sent (250 2.6.0 Ok, message with invalid header discarded, id=25788-02 - Non-encoded 8-bit data (char 84 hex) in message header 'Message-Id') Feb 6 10:09:40 cliff-claven postfix/qmgr[780]: 943FF180EC: removed How can I prove that the rejection happens from amavisd-new, as opposed to postfix? How can I accept these emails? Should I be rejecting them, as a general rule? (I will *have* to accept these emails, since they are from our auditors) >From amavisd-new debug: Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: starting. amavisd-new at cliff-claven amavisd-new-20030616-p10, Unicode aware Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Perl version 5.008007 Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Module Amavis::Conf 1.15 Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Module Archive::Tar 1.26 Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Module Archive::Zip 1.16 Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Module Compress::Zlib 1.41 Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Module Convert::TNEF 0.17 Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Module Convert::UUlib 1.051 Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Module DB_File 1.811 Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Module MIME::Entity 5.418 Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Module MIME::Parser 5.418 Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Module MIME::Tools 5.418 Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Module Mail::Header 1.62 Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Module Mail::Internet 1.62 Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Module Mail::SpamAssassin 3.001000 Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Module Net::Cmd 2.26 Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Module Net::DNS 0.53 Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Module Net::SMTP 2.29 Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Module Net::Server 0.89 Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Module Time::HiRes 1.66 Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Module Unix::Syslog 0.100 Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Found myself: /usr/sbin/amavisd-new -c /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Lookup::SQL code NOT loaded Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Lookup::LDAP code NOT loaded Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: AMCL-in protocol code NOT loaded Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: SMTP-in protocol code loaded Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: ANTI-VIRUS code loaded Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: ANTI-SPAM code loaded Pid_file already exists for running process (25918)... aborting Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Net::Server: 2006/02/06-11:25:31 Pid_file already exists for running process (25918)... aborting\n\n at line 251 in file /usr/share/perl5/Net/Server.pm Feb 6 11:25:31 cliff-claven amavisd-new[28607]: Net::Server: 2006/02/06-11:25:31 Server closing! ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
