Topic: Amavisd not opening ports before manual service restart

Hi,

I did a fresh install of iRedMail on CentOS 7, on a newly installed default CentOS 7 machine. After the machine boots up, the Amavisd starts but does not open the ports that it should. I did not change these configuration files, this is the default behaviour after installing as described in your installation guide:

[root@mail ~]# netstat -lpn | grep amavis
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 15127 882/master private/smtp-amavis
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 17988 553/clamd /var/run/clamd.amavisd/clamd.socket
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 16378 1381/amavisd (maste /var/run/amavisd/amavisd.sock

[root@mail ~]# grep inet_socket_port /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf
# option(s) -p overrides $inet_socket_port and $unix_socketname
$inet_socket_port = [10024, 10026, 9998];
# $inet_socket_port = [10024, 10026, 9998];

[root@mail ~]# systemctl restart amavisd
[root@mail ~]# netstat -lpn | grep amavis
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:10024 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2961/amavisd (maste
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:10026 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2961/amavisd (maste
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:9998 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2961/amavisd (maste
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 24593 2961/amavisd (maste /var/run/amavisd/amavisd.sock

unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 17988 553/clamd /var/run/clamd.amavisd/clamd.socket

Re: Amavisd not opening ports before manual service restart

Please try to enable amavisd service with systemctl:

systemctl enable amavisd

Then reboot server and check whether it's started automatically.

Hi Zhang,

no, that does not help.

As you see from my commands in the first posting, amavisd is running after a reboot, it just does not open the ports that are specified in the configuration.

The systemctl output confirms this:

root@mail ~]# systemctl | grep amavis
amavisd.service loaded active running Amavisd-new is an interface between MTA and content checkers.
clamd@amavisd.service loaded active running clamd scanner (amavisd) daemon
amavisd-clean-quarantine.timer loaded active waiting Amavisd clean quarantine timer
amavisd-clean-tmp.timer loaded active waiting Amavisd clean tmp timer

I nevertheless executed "systemctl enable amavisd" and did a reboot, did not change anything. Restarting amavisd via "systemctl restart amavisd" solves the problem, until next reboot. I guess amavisd starts too early in the normal boot process, not sure why this happens.

[root@mail ~]# cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/amavisd.service

I have also seen this behavior and it continues to be an issue. See the thread below.

Re: Amavisd not opening ports before manual service restart

Hi,

I know now what the problem is. The service configuration of amavisd is not correct:

[root@mail ~]# grep After /usr/lib/systemd/system/amavisd.service
After=network.target

The correct target to start Amavisd after the network is started is "network-online.target" not "network.target":

[root@mail ~]# systemctl list-units --type target | grep network
network-online.target loaded active active Network is Online

Change "After=network.target" to "After=network-online.target" and it works fine.

Regards,

Sven

You'd better report this issue to RPM package maintainer.

Re: Amavisd not opening ports before manual service restart

I'll do. But as it affects the proper functioning of your product, I thought I'd tell you anyway.

Re: Amavisd not opening ports before manual service restart

Thanks for the feedback. But seems amavisd works fine for other users, no similar reports yet.
