Your log is stating: Starting amavisd: head: cannot open `/etc/mailname' for reading: No such file or directory The value of variable $myhostname is "bjc-sjm", but should have been a fully qualified domain name; perhaps uname(3) did not provide such. You must explicitly assign a FQDN of this host to variable $myhostname in /etc/amavis/conf.d/05-node_id, or fix what uname(3) provides as a host's network name! Please take a look at this thread: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amavisd-new/+question/28169 In order to solve it.

I wish I had written the script's name down.... something like uavuj but I am not sure. I can always pull it up if you of you wants to communicate with me meanwhile, I am gonna try and reinstall my clamAVand see if that helps Sam Marasco Blue Juniata Consulting Mifflinown, PA 717-436-5542 sa...@pa.net ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: amavisd-new-postfix 1:2.6.5-0ubuntu3.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-39.62-generic 3.2.39 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-39-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu17.1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Feb 28 22:46:30 2013 ErrorMessage: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 MarkForUpload: True PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: amavisd-new Title: package amavisd-new-postfix 1:2.6.5-0ubuntu3.2 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amavisd-new/+bug/1136992/+subscriptions -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to amavisd-new in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1136992 Title: package amavisd-new-postfix 1:2.6.5-0ubuntu3.2 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amavisd-new/+bug/1136992/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
