 |
|
Around 3:40 in the morning amavisd stopped working and all the postfix messages started getting queued up instead of being delivered with the error message:
| Code: | | Nov 15 03:39:04 rum postfix/lmtp[6601]: F19E36C4CB: to=<xx@xxxxxxxxxxx.com>, relay=none, delay=1, status=deferred (connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]: Connection refused) |
Restarting amavis seemed to help. The only relevant log entry I could find is :
| Code: | | Nov 15 03:37:40 rum rc-scripts: ERROR: amavisd failed to stop |
Any ideas what may have tried to stop it?
Thanks! |

can you post your firewall config pls
probably the loopback address is not fully enabled...
if you allow all traffic goind from lo to lo it might work |

maybe logrotate tried to stop it?
cron.daily should start around that time |

| I thought about that and checked logrotate config files but none of them list amavisd. The only thing they restart is syslog-ng, and I doubt it has amavisd as a dependency. |

Hi,
i've been having the exact same problem. 
I've figured it out to be caused by rulesdujour wanting to reload amavisd when it downloads new config files for spamassassin.
I'd changed the following in my /etc/rulesdujour/config form this:
| Code: | | SA_RESTART="/etc/init.d/spamd restart" |
to this:
| Code: | | SA_RESTART="/etc/init.d/amavisd restart" |
For some reason tho, the daemon doesn't seem to shutdown correctly!
I think I'm going to remove that and write a restart script of my own that checks the daemon comes back up again.  |

ok, just been hunting on the forums and found this command:
| Code: | | /usr/sbin/amavisd reload |
I'm going to change my SA_RESTART config to use that instead
| Code: | | SA_RESTART="/usr/sbin/amavisd reload" |
fingers crossed  |

I thought about the possibility of rulesdujour but didn't realize they were restarting amavis. I thought they simply updated themselves via cron job. I will definitely take a look at it - thanks for the tip!  |

Reload doesn't appear to be a valid arg...
| Code: | Feb 11 09:30:57 comp rc-scripts: ERROR: wrong args ( reload )
Feb 11 09:30:57 comp rc-scripts: Usage: amavisd {start|stop|restart }
Feb 11 09:30:57 comp rc-scripts: amavisd without arguments for full help |

amavis takes forever to shut down. try running /etc/init.d/amavisd-new stop twice. the second time it should stop.
cheers
