Hi, list, I've got a recurrent problem, and I think I've
been able to track
it down to its cause, but I would like to have some opinions
from more
experienced people.
Every sunday AMAVIS dies, and a lot of mail gets queued
until I restart the
service. It appears to happen when some cron jobs run.
Currently, my crontab
looks like this:
# m h dom mon dow user command
17 * * * * root run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
25 6 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron ||
run-parts --report
/etc/cron.daily
47 6 * * 7 root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron ||
run-parts --report
/etc/cron.weekly
52 6 1 * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron ||
run-parts --report
/etc/cron.monthly
Here is what I have in /etc/cron.weekly:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 708 Feb 10 2005 htdig
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 520 Jan 5 2005 man-db
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1092 May 25 2005 sysklogd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 240 Aug 9 2006
trim-sql-awl-weekly
ok, and here is the message I've found in the mail log:
Apr 22 06:27:02 dalton amavis[15226]: Net::Server:
2007/04/22-06:27:02
Server closing!
Apr 22 06:27:02 dalton amavis[15226]: Net::Server:
2007/04/22-06:27:02
HUP'ing server
Since the htdig, man, and trim-sql-awl-weekly scripts are
fairly light, I
suspect from the sysklogd script, which rotates the logs.
All of them are
standard Debian scripts, with the exception of the
"trim sql" script, which
I took from http://www200.pa
ir.com/mecham/spam/. I've also upgraded the
Debian standard AMAVIS to version 2.4.4 following the guide
of that site.
Currently I'm running Debian Sarge, Postfix 2.1.5-9 patched
with VDA patch,
and the named AMAVIS 2.4.4.
Here is the relevant part of AMAVIS startup on the mail
log:

Tyhe hardware is a P-IV HT 3.06 MHz, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB SATA
disc. Should be
enough for a 300-user site, right? I think AMAVIS is dying
because of lack
of memory, but this configuration has been running for a
year and a half
flawlessly, so the situation it's kinda driving me nuts...
Any ideas? If the info is not enough, ask and I'll post.
Thanks in advance,
Luix

Some service is sending HUP signal to amavisd, and it shuts
down.
This is a normal response from amavisd (very long time ago
this
worked as a restart, but not any longer, use: 'amavisd
reload' for that).
Find the guilty script that sends a HUP, and remove it.
I suspect some log rotation script. Log from amavisd should
go to syslog, directly writing a log file is not
recommended.
If logging goes to syslog, there is no need to restart
amavisd
in order to rotate logs.
Mark

OK, I'm officially an ass. I forgot I run a script once an
hour to learn
spam and ham from the webmail users' Spam and Ham folders.
In that script,
I'ver used "/etc/init.d/amavis restart". And from
your mail, I see I should
use "/etc/init.d/amavis reload".
Sorry for the mistake.
Thanks again,
Luix
