Hi again, After I got Noel's email, I went to do my homework analyzing malilog, googling, etc. I couldn't get the answer but I found something. When I meant hiccups from the previous post, I meant one amavisd process stall or one amavisd is trying to do its job but somehow it got stuck with one message (spam message). Although I have 10 more amavisd instances, this one process that is stuck with one message is stopping other instances to work properly. I found this by looking at the top info and went into the /var/amavis/tmp/ folder. ========================================================================== top - 15:43:37 up 25 days, 15:11, 2 users, load average: 1.38, 2.15, 2.06 Tasks: 357 total, 2 running, 355 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 20.2% us, 4.7% sy, 0.0% ni, 72.3% id, 2.5% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.2% si Mem: 8164752k total, 8110816k used, 53936k free, 749420k buffers Swap: 2031608k total, 160k used, 2031448k free, 4290808k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 29095 amavis 16 0 181m 73m 3320 R 60 0.9 0:01.95 amavisd (ch1-29095-01-3) ========================================================================== In my /var/amavis/tmp/amavis-20070829T152337-29095/ , there are email.txt file and part/ folder. And I looked into email.txt and the message was a spam message. So that was stuck about 5 mins in the /var/amavis/tmp/ folder. And then it is gone. I do not know whether that is sent to the destination or not. Can someone help me at this point? Does my finding mean anything?
