Mark,
many thanks, I misunderstood it, i shouldn't have applied patch

yes, I'd rather go plain vanilla single config

I also forgot to make directories /var/amavis/tmp, db & var

I'm now binding to three ports, but, still having probs with pid:

where do I need to put pid, ?

I've tried uncommenting in /etc/amavisd.conf these two, but got similar error
# $lock_file = "$MYHOME/var/amavisd.lock";  # -L
# $pid_file  = "$MYHOME/var/amavisd.pid";   # -P

where do I need to put them ?
