We are trying to set up a remote MX service hosted in a FreeBSD-11
(ez)jail. 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?
