OK, I've made a little headway. I changed mailaction.php line 19 to: $ar_call = "/usr/bin/amavisd-release ".$qfile[0]." ".$sid." >> /var/log/amavis-releaselog 2>&1"; I also found some error messages from apache. I have the default server name the same as the virtual host where these scripts live, and apache logs some errors to the virtual host logs and some to the mail web logs.
I now see in my amavis-releaselog: Can't connect to UNIX socket /var/spool/amavisd/amavisd.sock: Permission denied at /usr/bin/amavisd-release line 206. line 206 is $sock->connect( pack_sockaddr_un($socketname) ) I have already verified that the string mailaction.php passes to amavisd-release is OK, and runs correctly in a shell, and also that when it is run from a shell it logs everything to the logfile. -m Michael Slavin wrote: > My problem is that stderr messages just seem to vanish.
