[plug] warning messages in mail log

[Alexander Hartner]

Hi Jon,

Looks like Postfix is trying to access amavis to do spam checking. As far as I remember postfix forwards any messages to amavis using a local network connection and you have to have both services running for any messages to be processed successfully, otherwise they will get stuck in postfix.
