Topic: Amavisd not starting (::1 [Cannot assign requestes address]\n) ...

==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version:
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL):
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version:
- Related log if you're reporting an issue:
====Ired version 0.8.7
Db Type: mysql
Linux: Centos 6.0

I have trouble in mail traffic. At least I found amavisd is not working. I had to disable from main.cf but it saves me from lots of spam mail. Please check the command output below.

It means some other service is listening on port 10024, so Amavisd cannot bind to this port number.

Please try to figure out which service is listening on this port, stop it or switch to another port. Then try to start amavisd again.

Thank you for your reply.

it seems 10024 is not occupied

Is there another way I can figure this out? I tried ot set another port

I tried using another ports like 10040, 10028, it did not work either.

should I add IPv6 config in my ifcfg-lo file or can I disable it from amavisd.conf?

Looks like Amavisd is listening on port 10025. You should try to kill this process and try to restart amavisd service again.

Re: Amavisd not starting (::1 [Cannot assign requestes address]\n) ...

Hello,
Killing the process did not work. I still get the same error in the debug output.

Additional question:

Can I run amavisd on another server and make my mail server run like that? İt is suppose to run in the same setup?

All i can say is, make sure no other program using port 10024, then try to start amavisd again.

Yes, of course you can separate Postfix and Amavisd to two servers.

Update Postfix parameter "content_filter" to use Amavisd running on another server, and update Amavisd parameter "forward_method" (running on another server) to re-inject emails to Postfix.

Re: Amavisd not starting (::1 [Cannot assign requestes address]\n) ...

Hello,

I seperated amavisd. I think my openVZ hosting does not support IPv6. I could not find the problem

Update Postfix parameter "content_filter" to use Amavisd running on another server, and update Amavisd parameter "forward_method" (running on another server) to re-inject emails to Postfix.

I also had to add
$inet_socket_bind = undef


Now I am dealing with.

lookup_ip_acl (inet_acl) arr.obj: key="::ffff:xx.xx.xx.xx", no match
(!)DENIED ACCESS from IP ::ffff:xx.xx.xx.xx, policy bank ''

I think the related lines are but using my postfx mail server IP adress did not work.

$policy_bank{'AM.PDP-INET'} = {
    protocol => 'AM.PDP',       # select Amavis policy delegation protocol
    inet_acl => qw( 12.34.56.78 ),    # restrict access to these IP addresses
    auth_required_release => 0,    # 0 - don't require secret_id for amavisd-release
    #log_level => 4,
    #always_bcc_by_ccat => {CC_CLEAN, 'admin@example.com'},
};

Hope fully I'll find a solution for it.

Re: Amavisd not starting (::1 [Cannot assign requestes address]\n) ...

I found the solution. Of your old mails helped out

http://www.iredmail.org/forum/topic2377 … -mail.html

I added 

@inet_acl = qw( 127.0.0.1 xxx.xxx.xx.xx [::1] ),

to the end of the amavisd.conf file.
