It seems amavis reports it is not running but netstat contradicts this. Not sure if it makes a difference but this is an LXC running Debian8 and ISPCFG3 according to the perfect setup howto. Code: root@alfred:~# netstat -tulpn | grep 10024 tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:10024 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 20207/amavisd-new ( tcp6 0 0 ::1:10024 :::* LISTEN 20207/amavisd-new ( root@alfred:~# netstat -tulpn | grep 10026 tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:10026 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 20207/amavisd-new ( tcp6 0 0 ::1:10026 :::* LISTEN 20207/amavisd-new ( root@alfred:~# /etc/init.d/amavis status [FAIL] amavisd is not running ... failed!
