Topic: Mail not recieved from AntiVir

[Per Sorensen]

I have a SME 5.6 where antivir suddenly can not deliver mail to port 825. It looks like qmail is not recieving. This is what the log file says:

Feb 24 18:36:18 axelserver avgatefwd[2102]: Message 'outgoing/xf-14796-08E04C65' scheduled for delivery now. Last attempt: Mon Feb 24 18:06:13 2003
Feb 24 18:36:18 axelserver avgatefwd[2102]: connect() failed (Connection refused)
Feb 24 18:36:18 axelserver avgatefwd[2102]: connection to host "localhost", port 825 failed

It has worked earlier. What can be wrong?

Seems that nothing is listening at port 825.

You can check that /etc/services has an entry for port 825 and that qmail is correctly configured to listen at port 825 (/var/service/smtpfront-qmail/run)

See http://www.caw.co.za/phorum/read.php?f=1&i=21&t=21 for more info.

Yes, that was part of the problem. Also the ownership of the files and directories for AntiVir where wrong.

This seems to be because the RPM from VexINS-AVMailGate, is not working for 5.5 and 5.6. The template script for /etc/services doesn't work, so the line about "smtp-backdoor    825/tcp" doesn't get into the file. So instead of having the script generating the line, i wrote it in directly (in the template).

I then changed owner for all the files and directories related to AntiVir

Then the mails came like a flood
