Hi folks,

Thanks in advance to anyone who can be of assistance...

My potentially dumb question involves a new problem
that popped up a week or so ago. I noticed that none of my mail was
making it to my inbox, even though it looks like my fetchmail daemon is
grabbing it fine. It just isn't making it to my cyrus mailbox now.

- The /var/log/maillog shows the following error - which appears to be
the culprit, but I could be wrong.
This log is for one mail I sent to my rr.com email address from
yahoo.com, which was grabbed from RR using fetchmail. The whole log is
at the bottom of my post:

Apr 10 13:32:09 cpe-1-2-3-4 postfix/lmtp[30756]: EE9EC20185C1:
to=<cyrusu...@localhost.columbus.res.rr.com>,
orig_to=<cyrususer@localhost>, relay=none, delay=1, status=deferred
(connect to /var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp[/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp]:
Permission denied)

- Other potentially damning issues might be that I used to have clamav*
installed? I removed it to see if that was causing the issue, thus
generating:

Apr 10 13:31:31 cpe-1-2-3-4 postfix/qmgr[30649]: warning: connect to
transport smtp-amavis: No such file or directory

- Lastly, there is a reject notice:

Apr 10 13:32:08 cpe-1-2-3-4 postfix/smtpd[30749]: connect from
localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]
Apr 10 13:32:08 cpe-1-2-3-4 postfix/smtpd[30749]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT
from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]: 550 <rruser@localhost>:
Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table;
from=<yahoou...@yahoo.com> to=<rruser@localhost> proto=ESMTP
helo=<localhost>

I'm wondering if I had something configured correctly at first, but
might have been lost after my system was bounced by a power outage?
(e.g., hostname??)

In short, it's the same config that was working perfectly a month ago:

Fedora Core 4 (experienced the same problem on Fedora Core 5)
postfix-2.2.2-2
cyrus-imapd-2.2.12-6.fc4
fetchmail-6.2.5.5-1.fc4
cyrus-sasl-plain-2.1.20-5
cyrus-sasl-md5-2.1.20-5
cyrus-sasl-2.1.20-5
perl-Authen-SASL-2.09-3.fc4

Thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions y'all might have.
Here's the detailed maillog if it's of use:

At this point, it looks like a whole bunch of problems, and not just one.
Congratulations, I think you've successfully shot yourself in the foot. :-)

It looks like the mail is being deferred, because the Postfix transport
filter (smtp-amavis) isn't working. If you run the command "mailq", there's
probably a bunch of messages being held in the Postfix queue.

If so, once the smtp-amavis is working again, the queue should drain with a
"postfix flush" command. If you decide to remove the filter in main.cf, then
you would need to run the command "postsuper -r ALL" to requeue everything
and strips the filter requests out.

Regarding the part about not being able to connect to /var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp:
I think that means that the process that's running at the time doesn't have
permission to access /var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp, *or* something is no longer listening
on /var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp. My first guess would be that it has to do
with amavis not running.

I think you can config amavis to where it's not looking for clamav, if you want to
try to get things running again before reinstalling clamav.

I dunno man.... Good luck. :-)
