Setting up Amavis-new

[hmag]

Hi all,
New to Amavis & Postfix since upgrading to 10.3 (now on 10.3.1 – client version), but am running it as a web/ftp/mail server – I have installed ClamAV as discussed in the articles at https://www.afp548.com/Articles/mail/postfix-sa.html but am a little stuck on the step for configuring Amavis-new by editing the /etc/amavisd.conf file – is there a sample file for this that we can refer to?
Additionally, I have followed the tutorial step-by-step & word for word, but having chowned the various files such as /var/amavis – an ls -l on those files shows the user & group as lp – not clamav – is ths normal?
Many thanks for any help – if you are able to email me at [email protected] that would be excellent.

Hi again,
further to my previous post, I am a little further on, but have come up empty after getting to this stage with my logs:

No the obvious is that I have stuffed something up – I have followed the tutorial off the AFP548 site pretty carefully, but I’m no nearer having Amavis running, so any help is much appreciated – I have restored my original postfix main.cf & master.cf files & done a postfix reload until I can sort the problem out, hence the last 2 log lines – many thanks.

Hi again,
Thanks to a few people on & off lists, I now have a working setup -still not entirely sure what went wrong, but anyhow, it’s working fine now.
