There are a lot of problems in here. …

My Activity monitor is showing this most active when this happens.

[code:1:0886a5f8f5]2054 servermgr_info root 68.00 1 6.38 MB 62.64 MB[/code:1:0886a5f8f5]

These two images are what is the Activity Monitor says is going on with the disk when that happens.

The second image is 30 seconds after the first.

My disk space is being slowly gobbled away and will be gone soon.

1.) I want to delete the old used space. Where do I get this build up stopped.
2.)Then I want to correct the problem.

Initially it started by trying to use the information on “Spam and Virus Controls with Postfix” article on this page install, which obviously went screwey somewhere. Now I don’t care. I just want my machine to work.

These are the errors I see in my Server Monitor Mail log : SMTP

[code:1:0886a5f8f5]Feb 26 10:00:06 myDomain postfix/smtp[2802]: warning: host http://www.myDomain.com[11.11.11.11(not my real ip#)] greeted me with my own hostname myDomain.com

Where is it trying to connect to smpt-amavis? And how do I disconnect that request?

The Console is reporting this error all the time.

This is an image of what is in line 409 of the server.pm file

Where do I go to fix the group? Which is the error in my previous message.

Well I got as far as the end of part four, but the result was an unsatisfying … “Server closing!” Instead of, “Parent ready for children.”

Where do I go from here?

[iJak]

.

Specifically, in the amavisd.conf configuration section at the end of part 3 of the instructions, what should I change? And not change?

In the of the Part 3 instructions, it says. …
[quote:848850b058]You’ll also want to take a look at where the spam and virus notifications go. This file defines the spam and virus policies on your mail server. Let me say that again to make sure you understand. This file determines all of your spam and virus policies. As such you really should spend some time looking it over so that you don’t embarrass yourself later.[/quote:848850b058]

Now, I sure as heck do not want to embarrass myself, but I have looked at this for a day or so, and I still am not sure what the important parts that apply to me and my server are? … Any suggestions?

Hello.

I, being new to UNIX and Panther server, found the Postfix/SpamAssassin tutorial a little confusing.

Did you get it running? And could you give me any pointers about how to read the tutorial?
