For testing, I stopped amavisd and sent one message from yahoo. It generates following error in my syslog
postfix/smtp[338]: [ID 197553 mail.info] connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]: Connection refused I then started amavisd but it didn't deliver the pending message. After that I ran postqueue -f to force the delivery of messages in the queue and I receive that message along with several other 2 3 day old messages. Why amavisd didn't deliver those messages which were arrived while amavisd was not running, can any one help on this? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sven Riedel Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 5:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [AMaViS-user] What will happen during failure of amavisd Hi, > My question is that in case amavisd daemon stop > running due to some reason, the Server will not be able receive new > emails? Or postfix will keep receiving emails but with no scanning? It depends on your setup. If you're using a pre-queueing content filter you won't be able to receive mail until amavis is up and running again. If you're using amavis as a post-queing content filter, you won't lose any mail. It will all remain in the queue until amavis is running again, or the queue lifetime runs out (in which case a bounce is sent back to the sender). The usual postfix queue lifetime is 5 days, so you're on the safe side there. If you've set up amavis according to the amavis postfix README, you'll have a post-queueing content filter, which I'd recommend to use anyway.
