Post subject:  Postfix/Sendmail Connection Refused
Hi Guys,

I'm having some trouble on a new server in relation to postfix and sendmail and using PHP's mail() command.

I've setup the server in relation to this guide:
http://library.linode.com/web-applicati ... an-5-lenny

When trying to execute the program, the emails are not being sent to (external accounts) and the logs say the Connection Refused. I have been tirelessly searching for a while now but to no avail. I have included my main.cf file below and also a snippet of the logs.

I appreciate any help that you can give!

James

Looks like amavis isn't running try
Code:
/etc/init.d/amavis restart

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I've just tried restarting a amavis, but it didn't exists. So, i did a apt-get install amavis but there seems to be a conflict in installing with SpamAssasin.

Code:
Starting amavisd: Problem in antispam SA code: Can't locate Mail/SpamAssassin.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at (eval 91) line 63.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 91) line 63.
(failed).
custard:/etc


Not sure how this can be fixed.

Run this
Code:
apt-get install amavisd-new spamassassin zoo unzip bzip2 arj nomarch lzop cabextract apt-listchanges libnet-ldap-perl libauthen-sasl-perl clamav-docs daemon libio-string-perl libio-socket-ssl-perl libnet-ident-perl zip libnet-dns-perl
again from the doc, it looks like you missed it.

Ok, great that seems to have eradicated the errors but still not receiving the emails. Should the php.ini sendmail_path point towards sendmail or towards postfix? Also heres the updated logs.

It should point to /usr/sbin/sendmail which is the postfix sendmail compatibility binary.

Set it to that, restart whatever runs php, see if it works if it doesn't show the contents of tail /var/log/mail.log

Its pointing towards /usr/sbin/sendmail.

Here's the log file, it appears that its Clam antivirus messing it around.

Code:
custard:/etc/postfix# tail /var/log/mail.log
