Hello,

unfortunately the documentation to modoboa don't describe exactly how amavisd has to be set up in order to run the modoboa amavisd plugin:

Here is an excerpt from http://blog.jens-wurster.de/2014/04/modoboa-und-amavis/

1.) Set up amavis db according to amavisd docs

2.) MySQL example:

in amavisd.conf add/modify: caution replace [pass] with the password.

$inet_socket_port = [10024, 9998];

@lookup_sql_dsn =
( ['DBI:mysql:database=amavis;host=127.0.0.1;port=3306', 'amavis', '[pass]'] );

@storage_sql_dsn =
( ['DBI:mysql:database=amavis;host=127.0.0.1;port=3306', 'amavis', '[pass]'] );

$virus_quarantine_method = 'sql:';
$spam_quarantine_method = 'sql:';
$banned_files_quarantine_method = 'sql:';
$bad_header_quarantine_method = 'sql:';

$virus_quarantine_to = 'virus-quarantine';
$banned_quarantine_to = 'banned-quarantine';
$bad_header_quarantine_to = 'bad-header-quarantine';
$spam_quarantine_to = 'spam-quarantine';

$interface_policy{'9998'} = 'AM.PDP-INET';

$policy_bank{'AM.PDP-INET'} = {
protocol => 'AM.PDP',
inet_acl => [qw( 127.0.0.1 [::1] )],

auth_required_release => 0,

};

3.) set modoboa accordnig those settings. If you prefer to use the sock, check the access permissions of the amavisd.sock (that one I haven't figured out yet how)

Kind Regards,
-Paul
