    Did you install spamassassin on your server? If no, install it or remove the sa-settings from amavis

    Seems as if you missed some steps or commands from perfect server guide. You have to install the spamassassin package to get that command.

    please gimme advise how to solve this problem.
    Amavis is not stable mail scanner and not give stable results against spammer.
    After every update of system i have trouble with amavis. I see that is the problem of many other users.
    Are you not change from your good ISPConfig program.

    I use amavis for more then 10 years on Debian and Ubuntu servers, it never stopped due to a update failure and I have good spam scan results. There are good reasons why we don't recommend to use opensuse as its not stable enough, if you use it anyway then you have to live with it's instability's but you should not blame amavis for the bad opensuse packages that break your install.

    I stay with my opinion: amavisd-new scanner is not good and he has more problems under Ubuntu and Cent OS systems: Look for more Google! Whatever! This is a meaningless dispute and not a solution to my problem.Amavis not intuitive product, but does not work well. 4-6 days since I have not worked a single spam message to my e-mail accounts. Previously, each time wondering how to fight with spammers. (Although I have fulfilled all instructions and Amavis spamasasin and postfix.I think it would be a good idea we consumers decide which of email scanners to install our own systems and whether there is at all any. I think that your team will have a few annoying problems of the same nature to solve. I think that the patches will be less. Remember the old version of ISPConfig there we had more freedom in many ways and much less your patches.! Right?

    No, we don't, otherwise we would not use amavis. I explained you above why your problem is apackaging problem of opensuse and neither a problem of amavis and ispconfig and when your amavis has no filter rules due to that packaging problem then it cant detect spam off course. But as you love opensuse and prefer to blame amavis for the opensuse packaging, then feel free to do that, it will not change the facts that the .rpm packages that had the failures were not from amavis nor that amavis has no stability problems on other platforms. And that you find posts for problems about any software that is installed on millions of servers on google should be clear. Or do you want to tell me that apache, nginx, the linux kernel etc. are not working because someone had an issue installing it correctly and posted that on the internet?

    The exact opposite is the case. The old ispconfig version was a monolithic software where you could not exchange a single software or service. ISPConfig 3 is completely modular, so it supports a lot of services and the services can be switched on and off easily and you can add custom plugins if you like to extend it.

    You dont like to use amavis as you dont like it? No problem at all, just disable it:

    and install the email scanner that you want to use on your server.

    Thank you for your advice! But it would be better to write for those who do not know how and what they do, but want to learn, what are the rights of the folder in question is not it?Not a good idea to give me a link to your blog to read pages 2-6 to solve your problem! If I am a beginner and give me advice on what to do in hovtoforge. You are not useful post. I think that is not free advertising space on blogs, but mostly good free advice.!Let us preserve the character of this site to visit and yours. So we will keep all gentlemanly good tone and we're very helpful to each other.Same I have sites and blogs just 32. But never once gave here a link to any mine site. Because I think that there should be ethics in relationships and my links here will make me ever known. A pretty harmful to others. If I intrude my seats.But please forgive me for my remark, it is well-intentioned and friendly. And I have nothing personal against you. Take it as advice on how to be absolutely useful for all, not just for skiers.Once again thanks for your advice
