Topic: Amavisd refusing connections on reboot

==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 0.9.3
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: CentOS Linux 7.2.1511 64bit
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): MySQL
- Web server (Apache or Nginx): Nginx
====

On a clean install of iRedmail on Centos 7.2 (minimal hosted on OpenVZ 4GB RAM) I noticed that amavisd refuses connections until restarted. Log example:
Dec 26 19:22:38 mail postfix/smtp[1260]: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused
Dec 26 19:22:38 mail postfix/smtp[1260]: CCF52240BD9: to=<user1@domain.com>, relay=none, delay=0.16, delays=0.14/0.01/0/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused)

The mail sent is internal: user2@domain.com to user1@domain.com
After "service amavisd restart", the mail que runs and connections are possible again.

Re: Amavisd refusing connections on reboot

How much RAM do you have on this server? The minimal requirement is 2GB for full spam/virus scanning feature.

Re: Amavisd refusing connections on reboot

Did this issue occur just once, or frequently? Any other related log in Postfix log file?

This happens on every reboot. Here is an example of postfix logs before amavisd is restarted after the boot process (IP's and users obfuscated):

Dec 26 22:14:21 mail postfix/submission/smtpd[1357]: connect from unknown[51.103.133.102]

Dec 26 22:17:41 mail postfix/anvil[1365]: statistics: max cache size 1 at Dec 26 22:14:21

Then restart amavisd:

Dec 27 00:08:39 mail postfix/submission/smtpd[3122]: connect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]
Dec 27 00:08:39 mail postfix/submission/smtpd[3122]: DF37C240C0E: client=localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1], sasl_method=LOGIN, sasl_username=user1@domain.com

Dec 27 00:08:41 mail postfix/qmgr[686]: 373D8240C13: removed

Then the que runs fine.
I also thought this was a RAM issue as with 1 GB it wasn't working. I have since installed a clean system and clean iRedmail install, but same result. (4GB)
Centos 7.2 Minimal install. It was missing rsyslog amongst other packages (sudo bzip2), but they were installed before iRedmail.

Re: Amavisd refusing connections on reboot

Did you use 'systemctl' command to set Amavisd service to start automatically after server reboot?
e.g.

systemctl enable amavisd

I didn't, but I will test and see if it alters the behaviour

I have now tested this after a server update and reboot. Amavisd does start at boot, but it refuses connections until it is restarted.

Re: Amavisd refusing connections on reboot

When server starts up, amavisd will be started, so there must be some log in /var/log/maillog. Please extract them and paste here so that others can help.

When server starts up, amavisd will be started, so there must be some log in /var/log/maillog. Please extract them and paste here so that others can help.

I'm also seeing this in the logs:

However, this doesn't appear to prevent mail delivery.

Re: Amavisd refusing connections on reboot

No error in Amavisd log, it seems just normal and it should work as expected.

Can you check which service starts first? Amavisd or MySQL?

Re: Amavisd refusing connections on reboot

From looking at your logs, it appears that you have postfix configured with two different port numbers for Amavis. In one log file, it's listed as 10024, and in another, it's 10026. (Your machine is obviously configured to use port 10026 for Amavis.) Make sure that Amavis' port is configured correctly in /etc/postfix/main.cf and /etc/postfix/master.cf. Also check your configuration files in /etc/amavis/ to make sure of what port Amavis is configured to use on startup. For some reason, I had the same issue with my server. It was trying to use both ports 10026 and 10024. My server had Amavis configured to use 10024, so I had to change the port numbers in main.cf and master.cf for Amavis to work correctly, and to not refuse connections.

Hope that's of some help to you!

Dec 26 19:22:38 mail postfix/smtp[1260]: CCF52240BD9: to=<user1@domain.com>, relay=none, delay=0.16, delays=0.14/0.01/0/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused)

Excerpts from my system: (Yours should be 10026, since that's how your system is configured).

From my /etc/postfix/master.cf:

submission inet n - n - - smtpd
-o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt
-o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
-o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
-o content_filter=smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024

From /etc/postfix/main.cf:

content_filter = smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024

Re: Amavisd refusing connections on reboot

Dear SteveLuxe,

Your configuration is WRONG.

*) In main.cf, we use port no. 10024 for incoming emails.
*) in master.cf, we use port no. 10026 for outgoing emails (sent by authenticated users).

Amavisd is able to listen on multiple ports. Default setting in Amavisd config file (/etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf) should be:

$inet_socket_port = [10024, 10026, 9998];

Re: Amavisd refusing connections on reboot

Hey Zhang,

Thanks for letting me know that my configuration is wrong. I could only seem to get things to work if I ended up matching up the two with port 10024. I will try it the other way around, but I'm pretty sure that I was getting a "refused connection" error when I had it set up that way, as well... Let me test it and get back to you. I'll try changing it now and see if it works correctly. I hate to give bad information, so thanks for setting the record straight...

Re: Amavisd refusing connections on reboot

That didn't work for me... I'm using debian...

Jan 8 11:28:27 mail postfix/smtp[18131]: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10026: Connection refused

However, when I went into /etc/amavis/conf.d/ and edited 20-debian_defaults, I had to manually add 10026 to the "$inet_socket_port =" variables. Once I added port 10026 into that file, and restarted postfix and amavis, everything seemed to work. Obviously I must have missed a step in setting up amavis in that particular file. I'm not sure how that happened, but I found it and changed it on my end, and now it appears to be working.

Sorry to have given bad information. I feel a bit like a stooge now.

Now that I'm doing a netstat -nat, I can see the following ports are open:

tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:10024 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:10025 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:10026 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:9998 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

Thanks for straightening ME out, Zhang! I had no clue that it was misconfigured.

Re: Amavisd refusing connections on reboot

Was there ever a solution to the original problem posted here? I am seeing the same. Fortunately server restarts are so rare that having to deal with it is infrequent. Yet there it is and I thought I'd do a search since I'm dealing with that now. Thus I landed here.

Please update /etc/amavis/conf.d/50-user instead, don't edit any other files under /etc/amavis/conf.d/.

Is this something new? The only things I have beneath /etc/amavis/ are two plain files (amavisd.conf and amavisd.conf.2016.05.27.19.50.51). Doing a "find /etc -name 50-user.conf" locates only /etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf.
