[Kolab-devel] [3.5] amavisd is not starting on CentOS

[Jochen Hein]

Hello,

after installation on CentOS 7.2 and setup-kolab amavisd doesn't start
for me:

Jan 23 23:19:28 kolab-35 amavisd[4545]: The value of variable $myhostname is "kolab-35", but should have been
Jan 23 23:19:28 kolab-35 amavisd[4545]: a fully qualified domain name; perhaps uname(3) did not provide such.
Jan 23 23:19:28 kolab-35 amavisd[4545]: You must explicitly assign a FQDN of this host to variable $myhostname
Jan 23 23:19:28 kolab-35 amavisd[4545]: in amavisd.conf, or fix what uname(3) provides as a host's network name!

My hostname/domainname is:

[root at kolab-35 ~]# hostname
kolab-35
[root at kolab-35 ~]# hostname -f
kolab-35.jochen.org
[root at kolab-35 ~]# domainname
jochen.org


[root at kolab-35 ~]# getent hosts kolab-35
fd23:e163:19f7:1234:5054:ff:fef1:136f kolab-35.jochen.org
[root at kolab-35 ~]# getent hosts kolab-35.jochen.org
fd23:e163:19f7:1234:5054:ff:fef1:136f kolab-35.jochen.org
[root at kolab-35 ~]# getent hosts 192.168.30.117
192.168.30.117  kolab-35.jochen.org kolab-35
[root at kolab-35 ~]# getent hosts fd23:e163:19f7:1234:5054:ff:fef1:136f
fd23:e163:19f7:1234:5054:ff:fef1:136f kolab-35.jochen.org

I have the following line in /etc/hosts:
192.168.30.117  kolab-35.jochen.org     kolab-35

If I add the following to /etc/amavis/amavis.conf, the service starts:

$myhostname = 'kolab-35.jochen.org';  # must be a fully-qualified domain name!

Any idea what is missing?  Or should setup-kolab add the correct
configuration?

Jochen
