A while back, I set up ISPConfig using one of the "The Perfect Server" tutorials on this website. I've been keeping up the software updates and now currently running Fedora 22. I've had no problems until yesterday when I suddenly stopped getting emails. I quickly discovered today it is because amavisd has stopped running and won't restart. Code: [root@peeves omega13a]# service amavisd start Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start amavisd.service Job for amavisd.service failed. See "systemctl status amavisd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Can you check the permissions + owner for /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf ? And check, that everything is mounted rw
