Jarry I actually just noticed this happening on my server. Not sure what exactly happened, but it appears that on my computer at least, the rules files had been deleted. What you'll want to try is running 'sa-update', then '/etc/init.d/amavisd zap', then finally '/etc/init.d/amavisd start'. OpenRC thinks that the service is running, since it doesn't really close out normally, so the zap command resets it to a stopped state, allowing you to start it normally after updating your rules files.
