Am having the following error and can't seem to put my finger on it: postfix/master[11340]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtp: bad command startup -- throttling postfix/smtp[11364]: fatal: chroot(/var/spool/postfix): Operation not permitted postfix/master[11340]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtp pid 11364 exit status I installed Postfix, Mailscanner, Clamav, Courier on Centos 5. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Jojo

Can you change Code: 127.0.0.1:10025 inet n - - - - smtpd to Code: 127.0.0.1:10025 inet n - n - - smtpd in master.cf? If that doesn't help, what's the output of Code: ls -la /var/spool ?
Clamav not starting The problem was also with the amavis configuration which I changed from: Code: amavis unix - - - - 2 smtp to: Code: amavis unix n - n - 2 smtp Now clamav is refusing to start: clamd.conf Code: LogFile /var/log/clamav/clamd.log LogFileUnlock yes LogFileMaxSize 1M LogTime yes LogSyslog yes PidFile /var/run/clamav/clamd.pid TemporaryDirectory /tmp DatabaseDirectory /var/clamav LocalSocket /tmp/clamd.socket FixStaleSocket yes TCPSocket 3310 TCPAddr 127.0.0.1 MaxConnectionQueueLength 30 StreamMaxLength 20M MaxThreads 10 ReadTimeout 300 User clamav AllowSupplementaryGroups yes Debug no ScanPE yes ScanELF yes DetectBrokenExecutables yes ScanOLE2 yes ScanMail yes ScanArchive yes ArchiveBlockEncrypted no ls -la /var/ Code: drwxr-x--- 6 amavis amavis 4096 Jun 6 02:15 amavis drwsrwsr-t 2 clamav clamav 4096 Jun 5 04:05 clamav lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Apr 21 02:23 mail -> spool/mail lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Apr 21 03:25 postfix -> spool/postfix drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Jun 6 02:15 run drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Apr 22 08:12 spool Starting Clam AntiVirus Daemon: LibClamAV Error: cli_loaddbdir(): Can't open directory /var/clamav ERROR: Unable to open file or directory I have no idea what I've done wrong, because clamav was working before I restarted. Any help will be appreciated... Thank you. -- Kojo
Clamav not starting Clamav start when I invoke it directly like this: Code: # clamd start but fails to start when invoked liked this: Code: # service clamd start thats when the error shows up. I find that very strange. Probably because I don't know or understand what is happening... I got it working, but am facing another problem... Connecting to amavis transfer refused! Am tired for today so I will look into it tommorrow.
Amavis connection refused # netstat -tap Code: tcp 0 0 localhost:10024 *:* LISTEN 18118/amavisd (master) tcp 0 0 localhost:10025 *:* LISTEN 18847/master tcp 0 0 *:smtps *:* LISTEN 18847/master tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 18847/master tcp 0 0 *:imaps *:* LISTEN 23542/couriertcpd tcp 0 0 *:pop3s *:* LISTEN 23554/couriertcpd tcp 0 0 *:pop3 *:* LISTEN 23548/couriertcpd tcp 0 0 *:imap *:* LISTEN 23535/couriertcpd Thanks for the your help.
Can you restart amavisd? If that doesn't help: what happens if you remove all the n from the chroot column in master.cf?
