I'm using the howto "Virtual Users and Domains with Postfix, Courier and MySQL (+SMTP-AUTH, Quota, SpamAssassin, ClamAV) I've copy and pasted the amavisd.conf from the howto and when issuing the command /etc/init.d/amavis restart I get an error near ) I've put a remark next to where the message says the error is occurring. I've included a few lines before and after the error. Thanks for any help. $localpart_is_case_sensitive = 0; # (default is false) $blacklist_sender_re = new_RE( qr'^(bulkmail|offers|cheapbenefits|earnmoney|foryou|greatcasino)@'i, qr'^(investments|lose_weight_today|market\.alert|money2you|MyGreenCard)@'i, qr'^(new\.tld\.registry|opt-out|opt-in|optin|saveonl|smoking2002k)@'i, qr'^(specialoffer|specialoffers|stockalert|stopsnoring|wantsome)@'i, qr'^(workathome|yesitsfree|your_friend|greatoffers)@'i, qr'^(inkjetplanet|marketopt|MakeMoney)\d*@'i, ); {ERROR IS HERE} map { $whitelist_sender{lc($_)}=1 } (qw( [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]
The error message is: mail2:/etc/amavis# /etc/init.d/amavis restart Stopping amavisd: (not running). Starting amavisd: Error in config file /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf: syntax error at /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf line 205, near ")" (failed). Thanks!
Using Putty, I did a copy and paste from the Howto. The line numbers are different as after doing the paste the first time, I spent the time in vi doing some formating for readability. Without the cleanup, I still get the same error. mail2:/etc/amavis# /etc/init.d/amavis restart Stopping amavisd: (not running). Starting amavisd: Error in config file /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf: syntax error at /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf line 13, near ")" (failed). mail2:/etc/amavis# Thanks...
I should have sent the line number in error using the original file and not the one I formatted. I formatted for readability so that I could easily read and try to learn what was going on since I'm a newbie.
And you're sure you followed it as close as possible? Because it is working for me exactly as outlined in the tutorial. After I wrote the tutorial I followed it again to verify there are no errors in it.
Same error after 3rd install. Any ideas before I give up and try a Windows solution? Thanks. /etc/amavis# /etc/init.d/amavis restart Stopping amavisd: (not running). Starting amavisd: Error in config file /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf: syntax error at /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf line 13, near ")" (failed).
I have no idea what's wrong on your system if you're absolutely sure you don't have Windows linebreaks in /etc/amavisd.conf (something like this happens for example, if you save the file on a Windows PC and then transfer it to the Linux system).
I did a copy and paste. I'll download rawwite and give that a try. Something else, when first going through setup and I issued the command "/etc/init.d/saslauthd" restart it worked fine Now I get "Starting SASL Authentication daemon: (failed). Also when creating SSL cert for TLS, I do not get ask the question "Enter the Fully Qualified Domain Name of the system" Any thoughts on these two items. Thanks.
Save the file to my pc and ran rawwrite and ftpd it over. It Works! Not sure what happend using just copy and paste. I've finished the howto and got the 250-StARTTLS AND 250-AUTH just like in the howto. I could not connect via outlook so I did a reboot of the mail server, MS workflow Now when doing the telnet localhost 25 it hangs at the 220 server name. Sasl is still not restarting when doing "/etc/init.d/saslauthd restrart"
That's normal. Now you can type Code: ehlo localhost and then Code: quit or just Code: quit to leave telnet. Anything in the mail log?

No line breaks but I had a 1 letter typo :-( I can now send and receive email!! Now to setup a web mail frontend. I do not see a howto on Squirrelmail. Any pit falls for a newbie installing this that you know of? Thanks for all your help!
No. But you could also try sqwebmail, as described here: http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-sarge/#webmail It gives you autoresponders.
