postfix is still responsible. amavisd-new sends the final response to postfix after it has successfully passed the message to the next hop. This is why if you check postfix logs, you'll see them "backward". ### after filter smtpd log: Oct 9 10:35:51 imlil postfix/qmgr[40898]: 6D8E9E54832: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=4537, nrcpt=1 (queue active) #### amavis log Oct 9 10:35:51 imlil amavis[64261]: (64261-16) Passed CLEAN, [216.34.181.88] [91.103.240.1] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, ... ### before filter log: Oct 9 10:35:51 imlil postfilter/smtp[64960]: 63B25E5482C: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024, delay=2.1, delays=0.22/0.01/0/1.8, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok, id=64261-16, from MTA([127.0.0.1]:10025): 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 6D8E9E54832) look also at the queueID's (including the "Ok: queued as ..." which correlates the before and after filter messages (the message-id too). > At the same moment amavis gets this message and suddenly crashes. > What happens to the mail?
