[Kolab-devel] Amavisd configuration error?

[Gelpi Andrea]

Hi,
	on kolab server 2.2.0 perhaps I found a configuration error in amavisd.

In /kolab/etc/kolab/template/amavisd.conf.template the are the following lines:

$virus_admin = "virusalert\@$mydomain";

. . .

$mailfrom_notify_admin     = "virusalert\@$mydomain";
$mailfrom_notify_recip     = "virusalert\@$mydomain";

When a virus arrives amavisd try to send a mail to virusalert@$mydomain, but the from and to 
fields are the same.

The result is:

This is the mail system at host dafnen.gelpi.it.

I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.

For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.

If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
delete your own text from the attached returned message.

                    The mail system

<virusalert at gelpi.it>: service unavailable. Command output: Failed to set
     recipient: Mailbox unknown.  Either there is no mailbox associated with
     this name or you do not have authorization to see it. 5.1.1 User unknown,
     code=550, original code 550


I check the distribution list and it is correctly defined.

The solution is to modify /kolab/etc/kolab/template/amavisd.conf.template
changing $virus_admin to the same value I put in distribution list.

To reproduce you have to edit:

/kolab/etc/postfix/aliases

and modify the line

root:                  /dev/null

with a real mailbox or you can't see the error.
