Postfix unable to pass messages to amavis ( Can't connect to INET4 socket 127.0.0.1)

[Mike Godshall via amavis-users]

Thanks for looking at it.  The one thing you mention that I have not seen as a recommendation yet is to telnet to the postfix reinjection port at 127.0.0.1:10025.  I have tried that and that is not working which explains why I see the following in the mail logs:

May 18 21:56:58 ubuntu12 postfix/smtp[30938]: 79AFD5F9FD: to=<me at me.com>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024, delay=883, delays=820/0.01/0/63, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (host 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] said: 450 4.4.1 id=29970-05 - Temporary MTA failure on relaying, Can't connect to INET4 socket 127.0.0.1: Connection timed out, MTA([127.0.0.1]:10025), id=29970-05 (in reply to end of DATA command))

lsof -i tcp:10025
COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE  DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
master  30434 root  111u  IPv4 2034261      0t0  TCP ip6-localhost:10025 (LISTEN)
master  30434 root  114u  IPv6 2034265      0t0  TCP ip6-localhost:10025 (LISTEN)

That means postfix is listening on port 10025 no?

Mike
