[Maia-users] could not read from amavisd socket /var/amavis/amavisd.sock: Success ?

[Andi Voss]

Hi,

I've a problem using amavisd-maia.
I installed amavisd-new 2.4.1 with amavisd-milter 1.1.2 and sendmail 8.13.8 
and Mail::SpamAssassin 3.001005 on my slackware 10.2 box.
Everything works fine.

Now I want to use maia, but at the moment I uncomment
@lookup_sql_dsn = ( ['DBI:mysql:maia:localhost', 'amavis', '****'] ); 
in /etc/amavisd.conf I get this error:
Sep 15 23:45:36 Homer amavisd-milter[19068]: k8FLjake019067: mlfi_eom: could 
not read from amavisd socket /var/amavis/amavisd.sock: Success

Is amavisd-maia working in a milter setup?
I read about the two instance of sendmail setup - is it necessary to use maia?

------- If it is NOT necessary, here some details about my setup: ------------
I had to change/add some settings in amavisd.conf.dist shipped with maia src 
to get it starting with amavisd-maia:
# only relevant with $unix_socketname
# Use with amavis-release over a socket or with Petr Rehor's amavis-milter.c
# (with amavis-milter.c from this package or old amavis.c client use 'AM.CL'):
$interface_policy{'SOCK'}='AM.PDP-SOCK';  
$policy_bank{'AM.PDP-SOCK'} = { protocol=>'AM.PDP' };

$forward_method = undef;  # set to undef with milter!
$notify_method = $forward_method;
