[Nish Aravamudan (nacc)]

Hello and thank you for reporting this bug.

I am unable to reproduce this in a LXD yakkety container. To rule out a configuration issue, can you please provide the output of:

systemctl status amavis.service
journalctl -xe

upon the failure; as well as, possibly, the output from runing

sudo systemctl start amavis.service

and then move this bug back to New?
