I'm running a fairly typical postfix->amavisd (spamassassin, virus scan) -> postfix -> next mail hop dedicated filtering system. Most of the time everthing is working fine, but amavisd is hanging every few days.
amavis logs are showing nothing - they just completely stop logging. the first problems apparent in the postfix logs are as follows (amavisd is on port 10024): Sep 23 04:47:18 xxxxx.ryerson.ca postfix/smtp[1827]: [ID 197553 mail.info] 171B 5558A: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]:10024, d elay=300, delays=0.29/0/300/0, dsn=4.4.2, status=deferred (conversation with xxx .xxx.xxx.xxx[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] timed out while receiving the initial server greet ing) I see a handful of these (fewer than my $max_servers number), followed by a large break in my postfix logs (the amavis logs show no logging after 04:42). Then: Sep 23 05:04:50 xxxxx.ryerson.ca postfix/error[3593]: [ID 197553 mail.info] 171B5558A: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=none, delay=1353, delays=1353/0/0/0.03, dsn=4.4.2, status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: conversation with xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] timed out while sending end of data -- message may be sent more than once) I get a pile of "timed out while sending end of data" and then it goes back to "timed out while receiving the initial server greeting" again. A direct telnet to amavisd on 10024 at this point gets me a connection, but no banner back from amavisd. Restarting amavisd normally gets mail flowing again, though sometimes a postfix reload also seems to be required. Thoughts on what I should be looking for here? Messages in amavis/tmp during the "hang" can be virus scanned or spamassassin'd manually without troubles. jonathan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
