Postfix unable to pass messages to amavis ( Can't connect to INET4 socket 127.0.0.1)

Question

I have been trying to get postfix to work with amavis but have been unable. No matter what I have tried I can't get past the following error: [snip] Can't connect to INET4 socket 127.0.0.1

I can successfully run telnet 127.0.0.1 10024 and amavis answers.

Nothing else in the logs to indicate a problem.

Does anyone know how I can further troubleshoot this?

postconf -n follows:

Amavisd mailing list gave me a pointer not listed on previous searches which was to try and telnet to port 10025. I was unable to connect to port 10025. But lsof -i tcp:10025 showed that postfix was listening.

I added a rule to iptables to allow port 10025 and now it works.
