Re: [AMaViS-user] TROUBLE in check_mail: decoding FAILED

Kenneth,

| This is an error that I encountered this morning on my test server which runs 
| Amavisd-new version 20021116. I have done a lot of upgrading including 
| postfix which i upgraded to 1.1.12, this server was working before and I am 
| doing a lot of work with it including modifying some virus entries in 
| /etc/amavisd.conf. I am completely buffled what causes this.

| Although I am 
| very tempted to reinstall the email configuration from scratch (remove 
| postfix, virus-scanners and amavisd-new and reinstall), I still want to know 
| what may have causes this.

Not worth the effort reinstalling, better find the problem.

What is your setting for $path in amavisd.conf ?
Make sure you do not include the . or .. or other relative paths
in the path list.
