[AMaViS-user] FYI qmail, linux and amavis

[Tom B. <tom...@em...>]

Hi !

FYI this is about amavis, qmail, suse 6.1 and perl 5.6.1.
I had to use amavis and not amavisd (which doesnot work with qmail - 
which isnot documented well enough IMHO), the suid wrapper, which is 
in the notes on the website and this patch which brings it to life.
Clifford Tse kindly provided it after i contacted him, because he 
mentioned the same problems here in the mailing list.

but it solved my problem. Strange enough. As far as i recognize this 
can't be dependend on the perl version cause i upgraded to 5.61 
because of this, and all perl modules are on the newest Version. I 
tried it with the current stable Amavis and with the CVS.

handling, as far as i understand the code should be functionally the 
same.
