Greetings everyone, I'm transitioning a lot of my mail servers from Qmail to Postfix and thus far it has gone very well. I got Postfix 2.3 (from the CentOS 5.3) up and running in a flash and then even got it all running with MySQL virtual users! My hats off to the Postfix devs.
However now I want to incorporate a few things like ClamAV, and Spamassassin and it appears that Amavisd-new is the preferred way to do it. I installed it out of the RPMForge repositories and Spamassassin, ClamAV, and amavisd-new all seem to be running correctly. If I telnet to port 10024 on localhost I can successfully see the Amavisd-new prompts and commands. When I startup Postfix and attempt to send mail through it, I get this error in the maillog: Sep 18 17:02:03 mail postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system Sep 18 17:02:03 mail postfix/master[16470]: daemon started -- version 2.3.3, configuration /etc/postfix Sep 18 17:02:03 mail postfix/qmgr[16473]: 8114A10D803B: from=<t...@whootis.com>, size=364, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 18 17:02:03 mail postfix/qmgr[16473]: warning: connect to transport scan: Connection refused Sep 18 17:02:03 mail postfix/cleanup[16474]: fatal: unsupported dictionary type: mysql Sep 18 17:02:04 mail postfix/master[16470]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/cleanup pid 16474 exit status 1 Sep 18 17:02:04 mail postfix/master[16470]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/cleanup: bad command startup -- throttling Sep 18 17:02:40 mail postfix/smtpd[16475]: warning: dict_nis_init: NIS domain name not set - NIS lookups disabled Sep 18 17:02:40 mail postfix/smtpd[16475]: fatal: unsupported dictionary type: mysql Sep 18 17:02:41 mail postfix/master[16470]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 16475 exit status 1 Sep 18 17:02:41 mail postfix/master[16470]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling The log entry at 17:02:40 is my attempt to send an SMTP message into the system.
