I sent command netstat -tulpn|grep 10024 to see if something was using 10024 port, but nothing is binding on it it seems that daemon is not writing the pid file. Any ideas? Thank you very much for your time
Hello I found the issue and the fix. The issue was the amavis was not able to bind 10024 to ipv6 interface ( Net::Server: 2022/09/27-10:21:16 Can't connect to TCP port 10024 on ::1) to fix it I have added this line $inet_socket_bind = '127.0.0.1'; to /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf restart amavis service and it works
Till it was working before and I have tried reboot, checking with my team, the ipv6 was enable yesterday and I didn't know. Thanks to log and google research I was able to fix it. Thank you for your time Till.
