So, he should, as a first step, see why that happens. Also, if you have a busy server, I wrote a small perl program which checks directories and deletes them if there is no amavis process in that directory. I found that useful once when the quarantine failed, so at least the server was working until we got there, so I just tossed it in cron to run every hour or so. Beware though - this *will* delete evidence you might have there and which might be important for you to find out why amavisd had problems. You can find the script at: http://www.zesoi.fer.hr/~bzdrnja/amavis-clean.pl Cheers, Bojan |
