Hello, I recently implemented amavisd-new (amavisd-new-2.6.4_5,1) on a FreeBSD mail server. I am using both postfix and spamassassin with it. I have 2 problems happening and I am not sure how to start figuring this out. I apologize if this is trivial.
1. /var/amavis/tmp has 7,000 (and growing) leftover directories in it. I have turned up my log level to 5 and watched my mail log. I can see that it is definitely cleaning up some of the dirs, ie: amavis[8032]: (08032-01) rmdir_recursively: /var/amavis/tmp/amavis-20100406T102829-08032/parts, excl=1 When I sample the email inside some of those leftover directories I find what looks like a bulk email. It is unclear to me if it is true spam or not. I also see this occasionally in the maillog: amavis[8540]: (08540-17) (!)PRESERVING EVIDENCE in /var/amavis/tmp/amavis-20100406T104452-08540 That particular email.txt looks like a bulk email. It is an ad from Beliefnet - Daily Specials. Not necessarily spam. I see references in the documentation to not letting this directory fill up too much. I am not sure what "too much" is. Is this "normal" behavior? 2. The $QUARANTINEDIR = '/var/virusmails' has 1400 (and growing) entries in it. Only about 50 of those are virus-xxx the rest are spam-xxx. Reviewing them they all look legitimate as spam and viruses. My question is again, how much is "normal" or to be expected? Is this a directory that I need to clean out with some cron job? Any direction or help with this is very appreciated.
