TROUBLE in check_mail

[ldejager]

Hi,

I followed the FC4 guide on setting up Postfix/amavis etc on a FC3 box and it's working fine, however due to the amount of email being passed through the machine I have decided to upgrade the hardware to a dual cpu box with 1GB of RAM.

I followed the same guide, did exactly as I di the previous time and for some reason I get the following errors;

I've searched google for the errors and saw a thread that suggested running the file(1) command as the user (who normally calls it, amavis) and check the exit code.

I've done that and the exit code is 0, which to means it finished sucessfully. I checked the working server's file(1) version and it's the same version as on the new machine.

Both machines were updated prior to following the guide (yum update)

Does anyone know what could be causing these errors?

Thanks in advance!

In your /etc/postfix/main.cf file, remove

reject dun.dnsrbl.net

It no longer exists and is causing your box to throw errors. I had the same problem.

There have been many recent posts on the amavis user lists regarding this. It is due to the use of Net::Server 0.91 with amavisd-new versions 2.3.3 or earlier. The fix is to downgrade to Net::Server 0.90. You can also use the current pre-release of amavisd-new 2.4.0 if you like.

http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/amav ... re7.tar.gz

or for you convenience, you can grab a copy of 0.90 from me:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/src
wget http://www.xmission.com/~jmcrc/Net-Server-0.90.tar.gz
tar xzvf Net-Server-0.90.tar.gz
cd Net-Server-0.90
perl Makefile.PL
make && make test && make install

It should simply install over the top of 0.91

Hi,

Thanks for the replies, I finally got an answer by reading through amavis.user lists and it was necesary to downgrade to Net::Server 0.90 from 0.91.

I have removed the dun.dnsrbl.net from postfix main.cf but I am still getting loads of lookup errors;

I double checked resolv.conf and did a dig on one of the domains listed above (without the 1.0.0.127) and it works... anyone know why the 1.0.0.27 is added?

Thanks again for the replies, helped a lot!

[Netopia]

I don't know about the other stuff, but 1.0.0.127 is just your reversed localhost address (127.0.0.1)

Yet it appears Postfix thinks your DNS is broken. It may be a chroot problem? Have you run the LINUX2 script?

[ldejager]

Hi,

Postfix is not running chrooted, maybe a reboot would solve the issue... haven't rebooted the server since I started working on it and I did make a few networking changes.

Thanks
