Postfix can't send and receive mails

**satimis** · 11-10-2008

Hi folks,

Debian Etch

Postfix can't send and receive mails.

On running;
# /etc/init.d/postfix check

# tail /var/log/mail.log

Code:

Nov 10 10:00:56 xen05 amavis[3329]: No decoder for       .arj  tried: arj, unarj
Nov 10 10:00:56 xen05 amavis[3329]: No decoder for       .arc  tried: nomarch, arc

Please advise where shall I check and how to fix the problem. TIA

Edit:

It was amavis problem.

Ran
# adduser clamav amavis

adding the user clamav to the group amavis

then problem gone but another problem surfaces;

# /etc/init.d/postfix check

# tail /var/log/mail.log

Code:

Nov 10 13:11:52 xen05 postfix/smtpd[3006]: disconnect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]

postfix still can't send/receive mails.

"... connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]: Connection refused (port 10024) .." Why port 10024 comes into play?

10024 is the default port that amavisd-new listens on, you should have a line similar to this:
content_filter = amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024
in the output of
postconf -n

check in your /etc/postfix/master.cf to see there is something similar to
amavis unix - - n - 3 smtp
(some options here ...)

127.0.0.1:10025 inet n - n - - smtpd
-o content_filter=
-o local_recipient_maps=
(and a few other options ...)

Lastly, check if amavisd-new is still running
ps ax|grep amavis

You might see something different to the darkred colored amavis in your main.cf and master.cf but they should match each other whatever they are.

Hi,

Thanks for your advice.

Tried them before without result. Some of the mentioned options have been commented out later.

# grep content_filter /etc/postfix/main.cf

What's the error message with content_filter commented out? Could you post the output of postconf -n?

satimis is not an user of MySQL.

Code:

It is the same.

# postconf -d | grep mail_version

Code:

mail_version = 2.3.8

What's the output of
cat /etc/postfix/mysql_domains.cf
and
cat /etc/postfix/mysql_mailbox.cf

Seems there's a problem in the database setup.

Yes. You're right. The problem is on /etc/postfix/mysql_mailbox.cf

Code:

.....
where_field=id  hosts=127.0.0.1
...

They were on the same line. Then I re-edited the file;

Code:

...
where_field=id  
hosts=127.0.0.1
...

breaking them into 2 lines.

# /etc/init.d/mysql reload

# /etc/init.d/postfix reload
# /etc/init.d/postfix check

making sure no mistake.

Sent mails to satimis@satimis.com on Gmail. Mails arrived without problem.

# ls /var/spool/mail/virtual/Stephen/

Code:

cur  new  tmp

directories were created automatically on the arrival of the first mail.

Now the mail server can send and receive mails. Thanks
