The logs don't have any errors for postfix. Postfix shows it receiving email, etc.
Telnet gives me a response from amavis new. The only thing I see in the logs related to amavis that might be an error is: May 9 11:18:01 /USR/SBIN/CRON[22335]: (amavis) CMD (test -e /usr/sbin/amavisd-new-cronjob && /usr/sbin/amavisd-new-cronjob sa-sync) May 9 11:18:01 /USR/SBIN/CRON[22334]: (amavis) MAIL (mailed 1 byte of output; but got status 0x004b, #012) Not sure what that means. If I run "/usr/sbin/amavisd-new-cronjob sa-sync" manually I don't get an error. -----Original Message----- From: owner-postfix-us...@postfix.org [mailto:owner-postfix-us...@postfix.org] On Behalf Of Noel Jones Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2013 3:09 PM To: postfix-users@postfix.org Subject: Re: Postfix not speaking with amavis?

Start with the basics... Is amavis running? Does amavis answer if you "telnet 127.0.0.1 10024"?
