Hi,

does anyone know something about this error with postfix and amavis?

Jul 13 17:57:25 e200 amavis[27308]: (27308-05) Passed CLEAN, [209.132.180.67] [213.165.64.20] <linux-kernel-owner(a)vger.kernel.org> -> <linux(a)imt-systems.com>,<mstevens(a)imt-systems.com>, Message-ID: <1279036642.5733.7.camel(a)maggy.simson.net>, mail_id: tsOvUhRB8Tnn, Hits: -4, size: 3003, queued_as: 3095C1F81E9, 2163 ms

Note: the mail was delivered successful.

I´ve seen this error only one-time and the server is apart from that working without any problems.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Morten

What the previous logfile record from process "amavis[27308]"?

Well in that case you will need to show the POSTFIX logging that
precedes the AMAVIS transaction with the warning.

Well, you terminate the Postfix while amavis is processing the
message, therefore it is no surprise that amavis cannot send the
response to the BEFORE-QUEUE SMTP client.
