Thanks for the response Mark. I ran amavisd manually and provided the config files that Debian likes to define in a conf.d/ directory. When it ran, I got an error saying that the user could not be changed from 0 to root and output the http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/#net-server-sec url and a message about upgrading Net::Server. I went ahead and used the -u parameter and the amavis user that debian created and everything spun up just fine. Aside from making several changes to the 30-user config file to uncomment the $path and other variables, everything seems to be running just fine. Perhaps the init.d script is borked somehow. I wonder how things got that way. I'm contemplating going through the script to figure out what's screwy with it, but I guess I'll be starting (and restarting) amavisd-new manually from here on out.
