Impacted versions

  • Modoboa: 1.3.1

Steps to reproduce

after reboot:

Mar  8 13:09:03 sn-mail1 amavis[218]: starting. /usr/sbin/amavisd-new at mail.secnux.net amavisd-new-2.10.1 (20141025), Unicode aware, LC_ALL="C", LANG="en_US.UTF-8"                                                                         
Mar  8 13:09:04 sn-mail1 amavis[889]: Net::Server: Group Not Defined.  Defaulting to EGID '111 111'

All works fine!
Can I ignore this or everyone has a "fix"?

Thanks

@cremesk That's pretty strange. Which distribution do you run?

@tonioo I also find it a little strange.
My Modoboa runs on a Debian 9 (buster) with package: amavisd-new
Version: 1: 2.10.1-4

$ id 111
uid=111(clamav) gid=115(clamav) groups=115(clamav),111(amavis)

$ id 108
uid=108(amavis) gid=111(amavis) groups=111(amavis)

maybe amavis also expects a default user and a group via the config. if it is not specified, it will probably set the defaults.

@cremesk I don't see where it can be defined in amavis config. Since I think it's just a warning, can we close this issue?
