I don't have the same env, so suggest to post to amavisd-new mail list.

Ok.. I'm still lost on this...

The post from the link above states the following.

You need to allow amavisd to accept connections from x.x.x.40/29: 
@inet_acl = qw( 127.0.0.1 [::1] x.x.x.40/29 ); 
and you need amavisd to bind to all interfaces (instead 
of a defaults which binds to a loopback interface only): 
$inet_socket_bind = undef;  # binds to all IP interfaces if undef

Ok I've added in the extra ip subnet range in the 50-user file and restarted amavisd, and postfix. Run through some tests and am still getting exactly the same error.

My top few lines of the 50-user file.

@inet_acl = qw( 127.0.0.1 [::1] 125.xxx.75.xxx ); 
$inet_socket_bind = undef;  # binds to all IP interfaces if undef

Does anyone with a direct example of what needs to be edited and where? or any other advise?

smtp outbound bind to specific IP address

I've run into a wall where I can as a standard with postfix just use the 'smtp_bind_address' address directive in the master.cf file to bind all outbound connections to a particular ip address. I've found doing this with the iRedmail system produces error in the mail log files.

E.G.
amavis[25487]: (!)DENIED ACCESS from IP XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, policy bank ''

If I leave out the bind directive emails flow in and out but postfix delivers email attaching itself to the highest ip address allocated on the server. I however need it to use the first ip address so that it matches our DNS PTR record.

E.G.
Email is currently being delivered outbound on 1.1.1.100, however I need to have it use 1.1.1.50.

Does anyone have a working solution for this?
