kolab 2.3.4 openpkg - amavisd not functioning

[Dirk Werner]

Hi Paul,
many thanks for you attention! Meanwhile, I had contact to Jeroen van
Meeuwen and he has changed the email notification settings for me. From
now on there is hope that I'm not gonna bother the mailing list anymore
with stupidly formatted or placed entries and replies ...
I'll try what you suggested - to run amavisd in a debug environment later.

Have a nice whitsun weekend, I remember it's Pinksteren in dutch :-)
I appreciate your work, thanks for that!
Cheers
Dirk
