This can be fixed in amavisd.conf and you do not need to
open all the ports.
You have to enable amavis to listen on the 9998 port, since
this the
way it allows connections from outside.
I have the following lines in /usr/local/etc/amavid.conf
$inet_socket_port = [10024,9998]; # listen on this local
TCP port(s) (see $pro
 inet_acl = qw ( 127.0.0.1 [::1] *LOCAL_IP* );
$inet_socket_bind = undef;
$unix_socketname = "$MYHOME/amavisd.sock"; #
amavisd-release or amavis-milter
Just replace *LOCAL_IP* with you machine's ip address.
Also be sure to have the host name in your /etc/hosts file.
The change you made works good if you only have one machine
with
amavis, but will break for multiple domains/machines
Cheers!

solution was to add a line to lib/Quarantine.lib.php at
