Hi All,
I have installed Kolab 3.0 on a fresh Opensuse 12.3.

Everything seemd to work fine, however the amavis deamon doesn't want to start.
At first, it said that the in $myhostname the FQDN ist not correct. That I 
managed to solve. But now the following error shows up, when I enter the 
command "systemctl status amavisd.service":
----------------
amavisd.service - Amavisd-new Virus Scanner interface

-------------

At first I tried to set the variable $myhostname in /etc/amavisd.conf.
This gave rise to the above error.

Originally this line was commented out. I commented the line again, but the 
error persists.

Could this be the problem?
Any other ideas?

To be honest, I don't want to start a new installation of Kolab, hoping this 
can be solved on the command line....

Thanks,
Johannes
