Hi,
I've delved through the amavis and exim archives, and haven't been able
to find a description of this particular problem. Hopefully it's something
I've done wrong.
Setup:
* amavis-perl 11
* exim 3.22
* Sophos Sweep
I have added the transport, director and router as specified in the
README.exim, and everything seems to work OK with delivering of mail, and
trapping the EICAR test. If I send a tar.gz attachment through (no virus) it
works fine; if I send a zip attachment through, it has a problem (even though
the zipfile seems to get unpacked successfully).
The /var/amavis directory is in place, with suitable permissions
(user/group = amavis, mode 0700).

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim).
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
ivan@???
Child process of amavis transport returned 255 (could mean shell command ended by signal 127 (Unknown signal 127)) from command:
/usr/local/sbin/amavis
--------------------------------------
It's obvious that amavis exited with a code that exim did not expect, and
that is the problem ... but I'm not sure _exactly_ what the problem is :(
Mail goes from:
@dreamtime.org -> @sportmarketplace.com [1] -> @sportbusiness.com
[1] @sportmarketplace.com is delivered locally on this exim/amavis box, so
it can get rewritten to @sportbusiness.com.
I'm not too sure what else to add (I can add exim config, etc, on request).
The box has no other MTA on it (to confuse the amavis install).
All suggestions gratefully accepted.
Cheers
Ivan
P.S. Before anyone asks, I use exiscan elsewhere, quite successfully, but am
after using amavis in this application.
