I have a postfix mail-server and want to use amavis for spam and virus detection. I followed this tutorial to add amavis to my running mail-server. I added to /etc/postfix/main.cf:
content_filter = smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024
and my /etc/postfix/master.cf locks like this:

All mails I try to send get status deferred with this log information:
Jan 19 10:28:51 mydomain postfix/smtp[2035]: BB27526F73: to=<user@mydomain.com>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024, delay=2.7, delays=0.13/0.01/0/2.5, dsn=4.5.0, status=deferred (host 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] said: 451 4.5.0 id=00944-02 - Temporary MTA failure on relaying, From MTA() during fwd-connect (Negative greeting: at (eval 134) line 479.): id=00944-02 (in reply to end of DATA command))
If I requeue the deferred mail it will be delivered. But all new mails which was not queued before get the same status with the same problem.
Has someone any idea how to solve this problem?
EDIT:
Here is are a few more lines of my logs also with the log after requeuing the mail:

I just had a wrong placed comment in my master.cf which I deleted before I posted the content here so my original master.cf file locked like this:
