SMTP DOWN [ resolved ]

[pstanbra]

I followed the instructions to set up clamVA, AMAVIS and spamassassin.
However after carefully following the instructions, it resulted in SMTP and SMTP_SSL DOWN

Also - There is conflicting info regarding spamassassin.
Even though its installed - should spamassassin be up not down. Another post says set spamassin from 0 to 1 . Yes this brings it up and shows it as running.
However another post says that amavis spawns spamassassin itself so changing from 0 to 1 is not needed and you can delete the spamassassin port info from the ports section of ispCP..


So yea - i have no smtp.
This really is totally different to a windows install routine. God knows why people like linux. Its taken me 3 days so far and im still trying to get it all working. Im scared that if it goes wrong in the future -im skrewed...

You are comparing software with an operating system. Sorry, this is just stupid. You will -need- a minimum of knowledge of your Operating System to administrating a server. Thats true for Linux AND Windows. So - go outside, buy a book of Server-Administrating and come back after you completed it.

Did you look into any log-files? Maybe you find your answer yourself. We need them anyway if you want us to help you.

Im actually comparing software installation methods actually.
When people ask for help, they don't need comments like that.

Hi

if you don't know anything about UNIX but you want to run a web/mail etc server - then use your windows and be happy (or not).
If you want to run a UNIX based Server then you need to get some knowledge - and yes - there are some big differences in how software is installed and configured.

So - we'll help you as far as we can but you must know that the amavis/clamav/spamassassin/maia is not part of ispcp and always needs good knowledge of the system and of the software parts (+postfix).

do you have some spaces before "-o smtpd_proxy_filter=localhost:10024"

if the line starts with a non-space character, then -o is interpreted as a transport definition...

/J

[pstanbra]

nope - no spaces...

[joximu]

ok, add some spaces - as you can see in the other lines with "-o ..."

still the same - below is my cf.

[joximu]

better use [code] instead of [quote]

ok - and where are the spaces (not empty lines) before "-o smtpd_proxy_filter...."

Please read http://www.postfix.org/master.5.html - Part "SYNTAX"....
