amavisd-new doesnt want to delete

i earsed amavisd-new (rpm -e) from my server
i delete all the lines from master.cf and main.cf
but still it say

Quote:

Aug 4 09:41:05 mail postfix/qmgr[28299]: warning: connect to transport smtp-amavis: Connection refused

why?

Did you stop the amavisd daemon first?

sure. thats what i get when i do pgrep to amavid

Quote:

[root@mail ~]# pgrep amavisd
[root@mail ~]#

Then did you restart (as opposed to reload) postfix?

Edit - what is in your transport file?

Edit 2 - did you do a search in main.cf and master.cf for 10024 and 10025 (I assume you were forwarding to amavisd-new as a content filter).

i did restar.
i dont have a transport map(i think)(transport map is optional)
yha i searched for 10024.
this is my main.cf

I know you said you'd delted references in it, but can you please post your master.cf

i looked for files the belongs to amavis and i found 2 (one of them was the lock file).
i removed them both and it still did that.
so i reinstall postfix and its still did it!!!!!!!!
so i removed postfix and looked for postfix files and i found the main.cf.rpmsave which is my configuration backup
and i found directory inside /var/spool called postfix which contain lots of files, i guess part of them r the incoming mails.
but inside those directory there r some file connected to amavis. so i did a new search with better argument and i found another files and directory connected to amavis.
so i made did this command :

Quote:

find / -name *amavis* -exec rpm -qf {} \;

and found out which files dont belong to any package installed (i removed amavis-new package already)
and what i found out was :

Quote:

logwatch-5.2.2-1.EL4.1
logwatch-5.2.2-1.EL4.1
file /var/spool/postfix/private/smtp-amavis is not owned by any package
file /var/spool/postfix/private/amavis-new is not owned by any package
file /var/amavis is not owned by any package

so i deleted the 2 files that dont blongs to any package.
the third was a directory, i made a new search :

Quote:

find /var/amavis/ -name '*' -exec rpm -qf {} \;
file /var/amavis is not owned by any package
file /var/amavis/db is not owned by any package
file /var/amavis/db/nanny.db is not owned by any package
file /var/amavis/db/snmp.db is not owned by any package
file /var/amavis/db/cache-expiry.db is not owned by any package
file /var/amavis/db/__db.003 is not owned by any package
file /var/amavis/db/__db.002 is not owned by any package
file /var/amavis/db/cache.db is not owned by any package
file /var/amavis/db/__db.001 is not owned by any package
file /var/amavis/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist is not owned by any package

noone owned a package, byebye files (the same search but with rm -r)
lets installed postfix again shell we?
it didnt worked agin so this time i removed postfix find all the file he kept
on my system after removing and installed it again.
yes, it worked - the problam was solved
