[SLUG] debian upgrade killed my amavisd and e-mail server

2006-07-04 Thread John
Hi List, I'm having a problem with amavisd-new. My apt-get upgrade broke it (and my entire postfix/spamassassin e-mail service) and I've tried to sort it without luck and probably compounded the problem. Is there anyone with this understanding/ability likely to be attending the workshop, please?
