amavisd failing to connect to ::1

Hello,

I am not receiving any emails for couple of weeks because of the following error in amavisd startup -

Dec 1 20:26:40 host amavis[1300]: starting. /usr/sbin/amavisd at host amavisd-new-2.9.1 (20140627), Unicode aware
Dec 1 20:26:40 host amavis[1301]: (!)Net::Server: 2014/12/01-20:26:40 Can't connect to TCP port 10024 on ::1 [Cannot assign requested address]\n at line 68 in file /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Net/Server/Proto/TCP.pm

The server has been configured not to have ipv6, which has not changed for a while. Nor is 10024 used any anyone else. Assuming that if I disable ipv6 loopback for amavisd this will go away, how can I "tell" amavisd to not do any ipv6 loopback connection at all and just listen on ipv4 only ?

Thanks

Patrick, that did not work. I still see the same error. Any other ideas ?

Do you have an entry for ::1 in /etc/hosts?

Find everywhere you have configured "localhost" in your amavisd
config. Replace "localhost" with "127.0.0.1".

Or just remove ::1 localhost from /etc/hosts, since he explicitly said he
doesn't want to support ipv6. Then it'll stop trying to bind to ::1.

Yes. I do not want to mess with that however since there are some obvious users of ipv6 on this server.

Each daemon has been tweaked not to use ipv6 unless things broke (and we reverted back).

There is no reference to localhost in the amavisd.conf.

There is one line that uses localhost, but that line is commented.

@mynetworks had a reference to ::1 but removing that and doing a "service amavisd restart" did not seem to change this behavior either. There were
few other ipv6 addressed in @mynetworks and removing those did not help either.

Benny,

I think that is a bit too extreme experiment and will affect pretty much anything running on the box.

I suggest you increase the log level and try to find out at which stage
amavisd calls for ::1. Just like the others I anticipate a reference to
localhost or some other hostname that locally resolves to ::1.

there is a number of options to make it incorrect :=)

http://askubuntu.com/questions/309461/how-to-disable-ipv6-permanently

compile of own kernel can just disable ipv6, but make a ipv6 only, only
is imho supported in freebsd

no matter of how, one get dirty hands

If there is no ::1 in your configuration and amavis is trying to use
it, it is using a default configuration since you use IPv6 in your
system. Try configuring variables that are not in your configuration
file, like:

@mynetworks = qw( 127.0.0.0/8 );
$inet_socket_bind = '127.0.0.1';
@inet_acl = qw( 127.0.0.1 );
$forward_method = 'smtp:[127.0.0.1]:10025'; # 10025 or whatever port
number you use (10024?)
$requeue_method = 'smtp:[127.0.0.1]:25';
$notify_method = 'smtp:[127.0.0.1]:10025'; # 10025 or whatever port
number you use (10024?)

How it looks your MTA configuration to use amavis?

add this in your amavisd.conf will do.

Yes this fixes the issue, also after applying the latest Perl-Net-Server update.
