Or, maybe I could actually read the release notes, that might be a good idea too: "A downside is that a HUP-ed daemon has already dropped root privileges during its initial start, so it must restart as a nonprivileged user (typically 'vscan' or 'amavis'), which rules out its capability to chroot, and requires that configuration files, DKIM signing keys files, and perl modules must be readable by this GID or UID, otherwise restart fails and a daemon process no longer exists" -- Gary V ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ AMaViS-user mailing list AMaViS-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/amavis-user Please visit http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/ regularly For administrativa requests please send email to rainer at openantivirus dot org
