[Tfug] Re: Postfix mail gateway

[Mike Morrell]

  I figured it out and I wanted to post my mistake on the list in case
anyone else had the same problem later.  I had made a mistake in how I
was forwarding the mail to amavis for filtering.  I had the following,

	content_filter = smtp-amavis:[localhost]:10024

which is wrong.  For postfix brackets are used to denote IP addresses
and not names.  It should have been

	content_filter = smtp-amavis:localhost:10024
OR
	content_filter = smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024
