Topic: EC2 AWS Ubuntu 12.04 Can't send nor Receive

I'm running

I'm not able to send receive email,
although 2 out of 30 some how managed to get in and out.

This is my log files

Re: EC2 AWS Ubuntu 12.04 Can't send nor Receive

2 issues:

1: "(connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused)", it means Amavisd service is not running.
2: "TROUBLE in check_mail: virus_scan FAILED: AV: ALL VIRUS SCANNERS FAILED", ClamAV service is not running.

Please restart above two services first, and make sure they're running.

Re: EC2 AWS Ubuntu 12.04 Can't send nor Receive

As you should see in my previous post :

ClamAV is running
1256 clamav 20 0 44032 1572 608 S 0.0 0.3 0:52.49 freshclam
8377 clamav 20 0 254m 135m 708 S 0.0 23.0 0:10.56 clamd

Amavisd = amavis ? doesn't want to start for an unknown reason.
sudo /etc/init.d/amavis restart
Stopping amavisd: (not running).
Starting amavisd: (failed).

Haven't done anything other than running the install script...

why don't they actually start ?...

Re: EC2 AWS Ubuntu 12.04 Can't send nor Receive

Just noticed this on the console of my EC2 Instance :

75942.993459] Out of memory: Kill process 6863 (clamscan) score 173 or sacrifice child
[75942.993483] Killed process 6863 (clamscan) total-vm:144416kB, anon-rss:104368kB, file-rss:0kB

it's micro instance, could that be cause not enough memory ?
can I totally disable clamscan then ? so it doesn't block emails ?

Of course.

I think you have to completely disable Amavisd + SpamAssassin + ClamAV to save memory. Commands:

# postconf -e content_filter=''
# /etc/init.d/postfix restart

# update-rc.d amavis remove
# update-rc.d clamav-daemon remove
# update-rc.d clamav-freshclam remove

# /etc/init.d/amavis stop
# /etc/init.d/clamav-daemon stop
# /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam stop

Don't forget to disable Amavisd integration in iRedAdmin-Pro config file, settings.ini:

[amavisd]
logging_into_sql = False
...

Re: EC2 AWS Ubuntu 12.04 Can't send nor Receive

Fixed ! thank you , I am now able to send and receive on an EC2 micro.

I however have an other issue with my EC2 amazon Instance IP :

Warning - Reverse DNS does not match SMTP Banner

because my Elastic IP resolves to ec2-xxx-xxx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com

So,

I would like to use Amazon SES smtp relay.

Would you know how to setup iRedMail to send all mail using amazon smtp relay ?

You need Postfix option: relayhost.
