    Hi!
    Everything works fine, but when I resync mail services from ispconfig, amavis does not restart automatically and the following message appears:
    Code:
    #systemctl status amavis
    dic 18 09:49:04 domain.eu systemd[1]: Failed to start LSB: Starts amavisd-new mailfilter.
    dic 18 09:49:04 domain.eu systemd[1]: Starting LSB: Starts amavisd-new mailfilter...
    dic 18 09:49:04 domain.eu systemd[1]: amavis.service start request repeated too quickly, refusing to start.
    dic 18 09:49:04 domain.eu systemd[1]: Failed to start LSB: Starts amavisd-new mailfilter.
    dic 18 09:49:04 domain.eu systemd[1]: Starting LSB: Starts amavisd-new mailfilter...
    dic 18 09:49:04 domain.eu systemd[1]: amavis.service start request repeated too quickly, refusing to start.
    dic 18 09:49:04 domain.eu systemd[1]: Failed to start LSB: Starts amavisd-new mailfilter.
    dic 18 09:49:04 domain.eu systemd[1]: Starting LSB: Starts amavisd-new mailfilter...
    dic 18 09:49:04 domain.eu systemd[1]: amavis.service start request repeated too quickly, refusing to start.
    dic 18 09:49:04 domain.eu systemd[1]: Failed to start LSB: Starts amavisd-new mailfilter.
    So, to start again, I have to start the service manually:
    Code:
    systemctl restart amavis
    DEBIAN 8 JESSIE
    ISPCONFIG 3.1.9


    Log files do not show anything relevant. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!!

    Finally Amavis stops its service and I have to manually restart it.
    any suggestions?

    Restart it manually. As you can see, amavis (systemd) cannot cope with that frequent restarts that are required for a resync. Resyncs are not used in normal server operation, so you should be able to restart it manually once after you did the resync.

    I had to check all the services were working properly after I did the re-sync but I didn't. I am noticed by our customers that they haven't received any email since last night. I found there were thousand mails in the queue caused by amavisd service was stopped. It's 100% my fault but if I knew this before I did the re-sync I might be able to prevent any service disruptions. My suggestion is to add simple note on that page so people will not make a mistake like me.
