Conversion to 7BIT required but not supported

[Dino Edwards]

I’m looking into enabling 8BITMIME on James. In the meantime a policy like this should suffice?

#This policy serves to persuade Postfix to convert mail to 7-bit before submitting to Amavis
$interface_policy{'10021'} = 'DISABLE8BITMIME';
$policy_bank{'DISABLE8BITMIME'} = {
smtpd_discard_ehlo_keywords => ['8BITMIME'],  # disable 8BITMIME
};

If you cannot enable 8BITMIME support on it, you might try to discard the 8BITMIME ehlo keyword on the 10021 amavis instance/policybank. This way, your postfix:25 should convert to 7BIT before feeding the mail into amavis:10021. This is also mentioned in [1] with its caveats.
