I had assumed incoming mail is put into the hold folder, then from there any filtering software like amavis or mailscanner would pick it up scan it then pass it back to postfix where it would then get put into the other queues. I have given up and re-imaged the server, going to try from scratch again. I have done a few postfix setups before this with postfix and mailscanner with no problems, but this has been my first attempt at using amavis. I messed around with the server settings, figure it would be good to start over. Maybe the problem is I have used the amavis debian packages but then compiled postfix from source. I would like to use the latest postfix, but maybe I have to stick with the debian package of postfix even though it is out of date.
