    I have updated to the latest ispconfig version.
    Also before this I updated my CentOS 5.4 OS with yum making sure that postfix is not updated.

    amavis is now not running. Attempting to start amavis results in the error:
    error loading required module Compress/Zlib.pm
    dualvar is only available with the XS version of Scalar::Util ...

    I have fixed this before but I am having a problem finding that fix.
    In the mean time I have disabled amavis so that I mail can be delivered.

    Last time I believe I fixed it by updating CPAN. This has not worked this time.

    Does anyone out there know of fix?

    You can open the Perl shell and run
    Code:
    install Compress::Zlib
    to install the missing module.

    Compress:Zlib is up to date also Scalar::Util is up to date.
    I am trying to deal with the dualvar and XS version of Scalar::Util which amavis dies on.

    I found a fix. I am posting it here so that the next time I have this problem I can find a solution here.

    Get a copy of Scalar::Util with XS in place:
    cd /tmp/
    wget
    http://cpan.netnitco.net/authors/id/G/GB/GBARR/Scalar-List-Utils-1.22.tar.gz
    tar zxvf Scalar-List-Utils-1.22.tar.gz
    cd Scalar-List-Utils-1.22
    perl Makefile.PL
    make test install

    Go into cpan and reinstall Compress::Zlib
    cpan
    cpan[1]> install Compress::Zlib

    Once this is done then restart amavis on CentOS 5:
    /etc/init.d/amavisd start

    If amavis does not start then there is another problem.

    Now I just have to go back to Postfix and enable amavis

    Cheers.
