There appears to be a detail missing in Step 14 ("Install Amavisd-new, SpamAssassin And ClamAV") of "The Perfect Server - CentOS 6.2 x86_64 With Apache2 [ISPConfig 3]": 1. When performing Step 14, the Amavisd init.d script (/etc/init.d/amavisd) complained... Code: [eric@ispconfig-1 ~]$ sudo /etc/init.d/amavisd start Starting amavisd: The value of variable $myhostname is "ispconfig-1", but should have been a fully qualified domain name; perhaps uname(3) did not provide such. You must explicitly assign a FQDN of this host to variable $myhostname in amavisd.conf, or fix what uname(3) provides as a host's network name! [[COLOR="Red"]FAILED[/COLOR]] 2. This prevented mail delivery and lead to lots of these errors (in /var/log/maillog)...

Editing /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf (i.e., Setting $myhostname to the FQHN of the MX) resolves this: Code: [eric@ispconfig-1 ~]$ hostname -f ispconfig-1.example.com [eric@ispconfig-1 ~]$ grep \$myhostname /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf $myhostname = 'ispconfig-1.example.com'; # must be a fully-qualified domain name!
