The @storage_sql_dsn is a list of alternate storage methods. Entries that are not working are skipped, the one that does work is used (even if previous entries are repaired meanwhile). When a working entry fails, the search for a good entry continues, in a round-robin fashion. If all entries fail, mail processing tempfails, to be retried by MTA later. > The long story is that our quarantine database is on our primary > mail relay, and the secondary mail relay is using this quarantine > database (on the primary).

It shouldn't bounce the message, it is supposed to return a temporary failure to MTA, mail stays in the queue. > What is the right way to configure amavisd to keep processing messages > even though its quarantine database is not available? Provide additional entries in @storage_sql_dsn for emergency needs. Perhaps add a local SQL database, and you may discard later whatever accumulates there if stored data is not important. An entry can not be a dummy/empty entry: if storage to SQL is specified, then data must end up in some storage, or mail tempfails. > Is there a way to configure amavisd to temporarly quarantine using > local files, or similar? Currently it is not possible to fallback from SQL to some file-based storage method, it is only possible to fallback to some other SQL database.
