Hello,
I seem to have stumbled into an issue where amavisd won't actually setup
the child servers on one
of my mailservers here.
* version of amavis
amavisd-new-2.3.1-1.2.fc4.rf - from the Dries RPM package.
---------------------------
* version of MTA
postfix 2.2.3 (also postfix 2.2.1).
----------------------------
* MTA config details
way too big to post the config files. problem occurs even when MTA is
disabled
(settings removed from master.cf, content_filter directive is removed
from main.cf).
----------------------------
* log file evidence (MTA log / amavis log)
This is the area that seems to be having the problem ( amavisd-new log)
The log has been trimmed to the relevant part to save space

It will repeat the last line forever.
------------------------------
* other useful information, depending on the nature of the problem
(OS, AV software, configure output etc.)
This problem occurred for me immediately after upgrading the OS from
Fedora Core 3 to Fedora Core 4.
It worked perfectly under Fedora Core 3 with Perl 5.8.5.
Current environment is Fedora Core 4 with Perl 5.8.6 and Net::Server 0.88.
Amavisd-new will ONLY start in debug mode, dies immediately when using
the init.d script provided
by the RPM package.
Telnetting to port 10024 when it's running in debug mode does not yeild
anything useful:
-----------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# telnet localhost 10024
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
------------
Using init.d script,
running 'service amavisd restart; service amavisd status' yeilds the
following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# service amavisd restart
Shutting down Mail Virus Scanner (amavisd): [FAILED]
Starting Mail Virus Scanner (amavisd): [ OK ]
amavisd dead but subsys locked
amavis-milter is stopped
Permissions have been checked, double checked. I've tried commenting out
all the Antivirus engines too.
I have also tried running it with the default configuration with no luck
either.
I've actually resorted to completely removing perl from the system,
deleting the /var/lib/perl5
directory and re-installing it from the FC4 rpms. I've also tried
clearing the iptables rules and switching off
SELinux.
The progam starts happily on my laptop when I installed it there to
test, also FC4 with Perl 5.8.6
I'm at a loss for where to look next to fix this problem.
Any ideas?
