Re: postfix and amavis not happy

I have postfix limited to 4 child processes.

    smtp-amavis  unix  -    -    y    -    4    smtp

I have amavis limited to 4 child processes.

    $max_servers  =  4;   # number of pre-forked children          
(default 2)

How can I confiirm clamd and amavis are using the same user account?


In reality it seems amavis is being hung up not postfix so if I setup
something that can telnet to 127.0.01:10024 and if it fails then send an
email to admin@somedomain.com right?
