    I'm getting legitimate emails seen as spam by amavis.

    How can I disable header checks for amavis(Debian 5.0 perfect server)?

    Are you sure these checks are in amavis (and not Postfix)? What's in your main.cf?

    I assumed it was amavis since the errors show up at X-Amavis-Alert in the email header.


    Here's my main.cf

    Code:
    header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/header_checks
    mime_header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/mime_header_checks
    nested_header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/nested_header_checks
    body_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/body_checks
    Can you check these four files if there's anything in them?

    They're empty.

    Ok, then this is not the problem.
    Did you modify the amavisd configuration, or is it the standard configuration?

    Nothing was changed since the install.

    I have received emails with shipping error to a recipient, with the following message
    X-Amavis-Alert: BAD HEADER SECTION, 8-bit Non-encoded data (char E3 hex):
    Can you help?
