Subject: [Exim] "Administrative prohibition" error with Amavisd and exim
hi,
After configuring amavisd with my exim and
spamassassin, all the messages are bounced back with
log entry saying "Administrative prohibition".
System spcifications
1. OS -RedHat 8.0
2. MTA - Exim 4.14 (rpm installation)
3. Amavis - amavisd-new-20030314
4. Spamassassin

 an example entry when I tried to send mail from the
"root" user to "test" user.

##################################
Important note:
I followed the exact steps (AFAIK), of the relvant
README.* , but in /etc/amavisd.conf file, I tried to
uncomment the 2 entries
#$relayhost="127.0.0.1";
#$relayhost_port="10025";
But then when I again stop/start amavisd I get the
following error,
"Error in config file /etc/amavisd.conf: Global symbol
"$relayhost" requires explicit package name at
/etc/amavisd.conf line 199.
Global symbol "$relayhost_port" requires explicit
package name at /etc/amavisd.conf line 200."
Also, I have removed the amavisd configurations for
virus scanning , as I dont have a virus scanner.
My exim was working fine beofore installing
amavis(still works when I remove those amavis
portions)
I tried all the options i could including going
through the docs and google search, but failed.
Please somebody give me anything comes to your mind. I
would highly appreciate any help .
Thanx in advance and regards,
Nasirudheen
