Connect 127.0.0.1 Connection Refused

[rgnelson]

I’m in a pinch with mail.
I am running Server 10.3.7. In Febuary of 2004 I set up spam and virus controls with the article I found on this site. It has been working great for well over a year.
I had an Apple RAID go bad on my mail server. I am back up and running except for mail.
I can telnet to localhost 25 and telnet to local host 10025 but I cannot telnet to localhost 10024.
I think amavis is not handing the mail back to postfix for delivery. The server is accepting mail, I have about 100 mails in the que but they cannot be delivered because the connection to 127.0.0.1 is refused.
I repaired disk permissions along the way and I am wondering if this is a permissions problem?
How can I check to see if Amavisd is running?
Any one have any ideas?
Thanks

ps -aux | grep amavisd

You should see amavisd (master) running. If master isn’t running, then you may want to stop and start your Mail service and look for errors. I generally don’t start amavisd seperately.

We did it once. It *think* we used:

su mailtransport -c amavisd

But I will leave it to the other experts to chime in.

su clamav -c amavisd
starts the amavisd daemon on Tiger.

Does this mean I get to be an expert??

Your log files should tell you what’s going on:
(They’re in /var/log/)
