sophossavi-Postfix on Redhat 9

[Marco Obaid]

Hi everyone,

I have been searching the archives for an issue between Postfix, MS, and
Sophossavi and I found a post (at the end of this message) but no solution.
This issue is *only* occurring on a Redhat 9.

If Virus Scanners = sophos (or command in my case), the delivery occurs.
If Virus Scanners = sophossavi , the delivery halts ( or deferred).

This is a *snip* from the maillog when sophossavi is used:

May 18 09:22:37 its postfix/nqmgr[21523]: 96AE2164180:
from=<godfather968 at hotmail.com>, size=1020, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
May 18 09:22:37 its postfix/nqmgr[21523]: 96AE2164180: to=<marco at its.muw.edu>,
relay=none, delay=0, status=deferred (deferred transport)
May 18 09:22:38 its postfix/smtpd[21603]: disconnect from bay8-
f31.bay8.hotmail.com[64.4.27.31]

This is a *snip* after changing Virus Scanners = command and restarting MS:

I am working with a test machine, so nothing urgent. I just wanted to bring it
up to Julian's attention.

Thank you
Marco
