Hello.

Freshly installed (maybe 2 weeks ago) iredmail 1.6.0. Installed using the downloadable .sh script.

Everything seems to be fine. I seem to receive / send e-mails as expected. However. On the occasion I see this:

I am unable to figure out why amavis dies but then when restarted I seem to be getting a lot of backlogged e-mails.

Can you please try and help?

Ask for any additional info like command outputs or logs and you shall receive it.

Kindest regards.

Excellent question. This virtual machine has 4GB of RAM allocated to it.

I will increase it to 6 and see if behaviour persists.

Thank you for your reply! I appreciate it.

Kindest regards.

Re: [SOLVED] Amavis stopped.

You should check why amavis crashed, since it starts up normally, but i guess it uses too much vram for spam and virus scanning so it shuts down


I also would suggest this:

Hi!

Unfortunately the service crashed last night around 2:30 again:

root@mail:~# systemctl status amavis
● amavis.service - Interface between MTA and virus scanner/content filters
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/amavis.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: inactive (dead) since Fri 2022-07-08 02:31:41 IST; 5h 30min ago
.

Jul 08 02:31:41 mail.williwonka.eu systemd[1]: amavis.service: Succeeded.
Jul 08 02:31:41 mail.williwonka.eu systemd[1]: amavis.service: Consumed 5.351s CPU time.

I will up the ram for the vm to 8 see if it happens again.

I would rather not disable the mentioned above services. Its scary...

Edit: Disabled clamav. Left amavis and spam assassin running. Lets see how that goes.

Kindest regards.

Re: [SOLVED] Amavis stopped.

Unfortunately it keeps happening every now and then so I created a cron job to restart amavis every hour... Its a silly solution I know but I need this working.

Last time I was able to "catch it" was today at 16:46:42

Re: [SOLVED] Amavis stopped.

Uh just a thought... Is there a limit of memory amavis can use? As in software limit configurable in the file somewhere? Maybe once its reaching it it crashes? Or am I the one that's reaching?

Kindest regards.

Re: [SOLVED] Amavis stopped.

Yes, issue is fixed.

I've checked the status of amavis this morning and it was running / active since 44 minutes ago. Which means at some stage 44 minutes ago it failed and restarted. That's the behaviour I was hoping to see.

Kindest regards.
