Hi,

I have set up another antivirus gateway and had the same problem (I used antivir from hbedv.de) but the solution is the same:

check the config file of the product and check what port is wants to use. Normally avgate software wants to listen to port 25 to receive email instead of usual smtp service, so all you need to do is manipulate the port that smtp listens to (to 825 for instance) and then restart smtp. then port 25 is free so you can startup avgate. refer to documentation of the smtp service you run (normally its a "run" file you need to modify in /var, but the guys who know about smtp customizing are lots better then me in this)....

hope this gives you an idea...

Jaco,

I've done this, and this made the avmailgateFW working.
But.... not the deamon.  It starts up and closes after a few seconds.

Hi Mad,

which was the error message you got, in /var/log/messages...
there must be some kind of error written there.

I've solved the problem thanks to Jaco Bongers and Bob King.

I've installed Bob's templates and reinstalled avmailgate.
afterwardds i've used Jaco's instruction from this forum :  http://www.caw.co.za/phorum/read.php?f=1&i=21&t=21

the only thing wich is not working is the panel in the server-manager.
Both deamons are STOPPED, but there are RUNNING.
