I've set the $mydomain variable and my notification reports in the same config file are as follows: That has nothing to do with amavisd. The server is trying to send an email to virusalert@example.com, and is failing because the connection to example.com (192.0.34.166) is timing out. You might want to take a look at the message in the queue and see if you mistyped an address, or if it's a virus bounce. example.com is an IANA reserved domain for use in documentation or other places a dummy domainname is needed. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
