[plug] warning messages in mail log

[Jon Miller]

Yes this is true and I've removed the settings from the master.cf file and
amavis so this does not take place.  Had a heap of error messages so I
thought I would roll back and try again at a later date.

I've restarted postfix after making the changes.

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.

couldn't get it to work I went back to the previous configuration.
