If you stop amavisd-new, the folders should disappear. If some folder don't disappear, then amavisd-new usually left them there because of "PRESERVING EVIDENCE" of some other error (like file() utility bug, etc.). Try greping your amavisd-new log files for "PRESERVED". >> Can anybody point me in the right direction > >>From my cursory reading of the code, Amavis::TempDir should be creating *and* > destroying the temporary files, but I suspect your folders are quite old and > remnant from amavisd "crashes" in the past.

Otherwise I believe stopping amavisd-new, cleaning tempdir and starting amavisd-new would be just fine... regards, Jernej ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
