Hi people I'm new to the list and to the linux servers world. I'm building a
mail relay server using Postfix, Amavisd-new, Spam Assassin, Razor and SophosAV
on a Slackware 9.
The postfix version is 2.4.6, the amavisd-new version is 2.5.3.
The problem is the following, when I call the "amavisd start" command it just
get stuck there(instead of loading the program and showing the command prompt
again), nothing happens, no process is running at that time(I ran the command
as root with sudo). I've created a user called "amavis" for managing
amavisd-new, and with that user there are two processes, two slept children to
be precise, they do nothing, I cannot kill the processes by their PIDs as root,
and the strange thing is that I didn't prepare a init script to start the
programs on boot, so I'm a bit lost about this, there's no way I can stop the
processes.
Here is the ps aux prompt:

fine:
