HI Guys 
 
Amavis seems to go into a loop when that happens I can see the following
error in the main log : retry not reached for any hosts then I run the
following to fix it but it keeps coming back after a few hours :
 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/amavisd.sh stop

/etc/rc.d/exim stop

cd /home/var-mirror/

rm -r amavis

mkdir amavis

chown vscan:vscan amavis

chmod o-rwx amavis

cd amavis

mkdir db

chown vscan:vscan db

rm -r /var/spool/exim/input

rm /var/spool/exim/db/retry*

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/amavisd.sh start

/etc/rc.d/exim start

 

How can I stop this from happening ?

Spidey
