Question 1:  When I start amavisd with the debug option it's complaining:

[root@myhost/]# amavisd debug
Config file "Not a directory: --list" does not exist, at /usr/sbin/amavisd line 1264.

I don't know perl I but for what it's worth,  line 1264 is here:

1252    # read and evaluate configuration files (one or more)
1253    sub read_config(@) {
1254      my(@config_files) = @_;
1255      for my $config_file (@config_files) {
1256        my($msg);
1257        my($errn) = stat($config_file) ? 0 : 0+$!;
1258        if    ($errn == ENOENT) { $msg = "does not exist" }
1259        elsif ($errn)      { $msg = "is inaccessible: $!" }
1260        elsif (-d _)       { $msg = "is a directory" }
1261        elsif (!-f _)      { $msg = "is not a regular file" }
1262       elsif ($> && -o _) { $msg = "is owned by EUID $>, should be owned by root"}
1263        elsif ($> && -w _) { $msg = "is writable by EUID $>, EGID $)" }
1264        if (defined $msg)  { die "Config file \"$config_file\" $msg," }
1265        $! = 0;
1266        if (defined(do $config_file)) {}
1267        elsif ($@ ne '') { die "Error in config file \"$config_file\": $@" }
1268        elsif ($! != 0)  { die "Error reading config file \"$config_file\": $!" }
1268      }
And the only instance of --list I find is here:

2039    # my($old_path) = $ENV{PATH};
2040    # $ENV{PATH} = "/bin:/usr/bin";
2041      foreach my $dir (@dirs) {
2042        push(@config_files, `run-parts --list "$dir"`);
2043    }


Question 2: Does CiviMail "play nice" with clamd? I ask because the 40-civimail addition to amavisd.conf provided turns off av-scanning. Can I just enable it?


If it makes a difference, my set up is as follows:

CiviCRM 2.0.4 w/Joomla 1.0.15

vps centos-5-x86-eapps

Packages:
postfix        2.3.3-2
amavisd-new     2.5.4-1.el5.rf   
dovecot     1.0-1.2.rc15.el5
mysql         5.0.51-1eapps
php         5.2.5-1eapps
perl        5.8.8-10.el5_0.2
perl-SOAP-Lite    0.71-1.el5.rf

Email/Verp version 0.06
./usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Mail/Verp.pm

spamassassin     3.2.4-1.el5.rf
clamav-db     0.93.1-1.el5.rf
clamd         0.93.1-1.el5.rf
clamav         0.93.1-1.el5.rf

And the many dependencies. . .

your best bet will be to check the offending line and figuring out whats wrong. alternatively, you might want to check on an amavisd specific mailing list

hmm, i dont think we added that line. a search for "amavisd run-parts", i get quite a few results

http://www.google.co.nz/search?q=amavisd+run-parts&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

i'm pretty sure that we did not change or modify that part of the code.

lobo

check: http://patches.ubuntu.com/a/amavisd-new/extracted/30_conf.d_support_builtin.dpatch

we use the ubuntu distribution. the comments explain why they patched it. You might want to fix it for fedora and post the patch here

lobo

If we were experts / more knowledgeable about amavisd and had any idea about why that code is there, we would definitely help out and give you a workaround. amavisd is much a blackbox to us, as it is to you. We dont have much better context either (unfortunately). This issue is an upstream patch for us, so a bit transparent to us.

You can start helping by getting better context and helping fix / resolve this issue.

lobo

Just reverse the patch that he posted. It's for debian and breaks fedora/redhat systems.   I did this and it worked great.
