Hi,

this morning I have a growing queue and messages is not delivered.

I check the status of mail and seems to be a problem with amavisd:

[root@posta ~]# /etc/init.d/amavisd status
amavisd inactive but subsys locked

I try to restart the service but nothing changed...

Pleas help...

Re: amavisd problem?

Still, about 350 messages remain in queue not delivered and flush commend doesn't seems to work.

Log report:

"delivery temporarily suspended: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused"

How can I unlock these messages?

Re: amavisd problem?

[root@posta ~]# telnet localhost 10024
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

It's an amavisd related problem, I don't know how to check for now.
Can someone had seen already these?

Re: amavisd problem?

Now amavis seems to start after I deleted these 2 files:

/var/amavis/amavisd.lock
/var/amavis/amavisd.pid

....

How can I avoid these kind of problem in the future?

Script /etc/init.d/amavisd should check PID stored in amavisd.pid file before actually starting Amavisd service. I guess the one shipped in your Amavisd package doesn't do this.

Usually, this is caused by process kill, for example, you kill amavisd process with command 'kill', 'pkill', 'killall', etc.

Tnx...
