cause appears to be amavis doesn’t appear to exist in CentOS8: [root@mail modoboa-installer]# yum install amavis

But another problem is these packages are missing: cabextract, lrzip, unar, unzoo

I just tried this as well. The issue is that the installer was developed and tested on CentOS 7 and at least some of the official package names have changed between version 7 and version 8. Amavis is actually not the issue as the name of the package is amavisd-new in both. However, cabextract and lrzip don’t have packages available in the base official repos.

You’re better off installing version 7 and trying the installation again.
