Can't start amavisd

Hi!

For anyone reading this post, DO NOT UPDATE FROM VERSION 25.6.1(or oyher version) TO 25.9.0 before this date, as this version is unusable, whether via upgrade or a clean install.

😐

@carloscunha 

You can not say it is unusable.

@sharif 

I apologize if my words were harsh or offensive, but unfortunately, it's the truth I see based on my experience and that of so many others here on the forum....

There are so many reports of problems, in various forms, reports of updates, reports (like mine) of completely wiped installations.

How can it be said that it's OK for use?!

I'm sorry, but I believe that even with a fix, the repositories should be "blocked" to avoid so many problems for so many people....

@sharif 

My installation was completely wiped clean, using an installation script, and like others, I had the same problems...

@carloscunha 

You don't need apologize. We welcome the feedback. And if something's not working, don't say otherwise. I will share your feedbacks with my teams. Please feel free to share any current issue so that we can provide as a much info as we can to the devs. 

I have the same problem. 2 days ago, I did a clean installation on ubuntu 24. Today, my friend called me and when he found out that I had installed carbonio, he warned me not to restart it because it could end badly. I wanted to refute his words, but then happened what I'm posting below. Now, I can't receive or send emails, and I can't install openssl3.3 because it breaks the system. I know this because I took a snapshot.

It was my fault, and it had to do with installing imapsync

apt remove libnet-ssleay-perl libio-socket-ssl-perl libcrypt-ssleay-perl
mkdir -p removed link

nano removed link override.conf
[Service]
Environment=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/zextras/common/lib

Same here, i did fresh installation with script on Ubuntu 24.04 and the amavis is exiting. There was no error or break during installation.

What could be the issue?? Am i missed something during installation?

After lot of (semi) random attempts, I figured out workaround, that fixes amavis permanently restarting on my setup.

In RHEL9 you will need to restart carbonio-mta.target via systemctl, or reboot the MTA host. The zmconfigd still fail to restart individual components because of SystemD. But this is separate issue.
