kolab 2.3.4 openpkg - amavisd not functioning

[Dirk Werner]

Hi Paul,
running amavis in debug mode has unveiled a misconfiguration, I'm a bit
embarassed to say that. I've been too sure that I had made no mistake
during bootstrapping kolab and it turned out that the fqdn was
incomplete. After I had corrected the amavis configuration, postfix
complained exactly the same, so I corrected that and also the settings
in kolab.conf. Since then the server works fine. Thanks for showing me
how to run parts of kolab in debug mode, this is very very helpful.
Best regards,
Dirk
