Postfix issue: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused)

I get this error when I try to send mail.

Sep 22 14:21:51 10-163-97-14 postfix/error[12936]: 12CBA135AFA: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=41102, delays=41102/0.02/0/0.04, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused)

I'm running ISPConfig 3.0.5.3 on CentOS release 5.9 (Final)

I checked postfix.

I saw that others had said I need amavisd-new installed. Apparently when I did the perfect server setup I had trouble with this because it doesn't seem to be installed.

So I attempt to install it with all of it's dependencies (I was able to get clamav and spamassassin installed).

[root@10-163-97-14 ~]# yum --enablerepo=rpmforge,rpmforge-extras install amavisd-new clamav clamav-devel clamd spamassassin

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest


I can't seem to get amavisd-new installed.

 

Check if clamav and/or spamassassin are working.
just restart them via init.d scripts.

you can also check your syslog if you got some think like this:

It looks like spamassassin wasn't on.

[root@10-163-97-14 ~]# /etc/init.d/clamd stop

[root@10-163-97-14 ~]#

However I'm getting the same error.

Sep 22 19:50:19 10-163-97-14 postfix/smtp[18326]: 5C39A19CC4B: to=<matt.***@gmail.com>, relay=none, delay=0.18, delays=0.18/0/0/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused)

 

I disabled the priorities plugin for yum and it installed amavisd-new.

 

I got amavisd, postfix, clamav, spamassassin running and still get the same error:

Sep 22 16:39:25 10-163-97-14 postfix/error[21828]: AC3BF135AEB: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=56809, delays=56809/0.18/0/0.05, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused)

 

Looks like amavis is not listening on 10024. I get connection refused when i telnet to 10024 (obviously).
