I'm forwarding the message below that I sent to the amavis-user list because I haven't gotten even so much as a request for more info about the problem there.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know. G -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AMaViS-user] Amavis-ng + exim -- help please. From: "Gerald V. Livingston II" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sat, October 19, 2002 2:22 To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> amavis-ng 0.1.4.1 exim 3.36 The error seems to occur when Exim.pm attempts to feed the scanned message back to the real exim MTA. When the error occurs the messages are left in /var/tmp where amavis opens them up for scanning. I could probably feed them back to exim by hand and have them delivered after disabling amavis. Any idea why it's griping about a PATH environment being insecure and where it's getting that particular environment setting? I'm no programmer and have dug around about a week now trying to track it down. I had one more thought that I haven't yet tried and that is to set amavis to run as UID/GID mail/mail, the same as exim. I'm working from remote right now (I'm at work and the box is at home). May ssh into the box later and kill fetchmail to try re-setting the UID/GID in the config files. This is on a Debian distribution system with amavis running uid=amavis gid=amavis Thanks, Gerald Begin error email genertaed by exim: Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2002 09:33:54 -0500 From: Mail Delivery System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: xxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim).
