We have postfix running but we are having trouble with getting amavisd to start. Rnning it as a service gives this result: service amavisd start Starting amavisd. /usr/local/etc/rc.d/amavisd: WARNING: failed to start amavisd The log entry made in /var/log/messages says this: Jan 25 12:26:55 hllmx150 root: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/amavisd: WARNING: failed to start amavisd Which provides no clue as to what has gone wrong. There are no entries made in /var/log/amavis/amavisd.log respecting this failure. If we run amavisd from the command line then we see this: # amavisd The value of variable $myhostname is "hllmx150", 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! However, uname -a shows this: # uname -a FreeBSD hllmx150 11.1-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p1 #0: Wed Aug 9 11:55:48 UTC 2017 root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 # uname -n hllmx150 So what is the error actually telling me? -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.
