I have turned debug logging up to 1000 and this is what I get when I attempt to start amavisd: Code: Nov 15 23:53:30 server amavis[2944]: logging initialized, log level 1000, syslog: amavis.mail Nov 15 23:53:30 server amavis[2944]: run_command: [2945] /usr/bin/uptime </dev/null 2>/dev/null Nov 15 23:53:30 server amavis[2945]: open_on_specific_fd: target fd0 closing, to become < /dev/null Nov 15 23:53:30 server amavis[2945]: open_on_specific_fd: target fd1 closing, to become > &=5 Nov 15 23:53:30 server amavis[2945]: open_on_specific_fd: target fd1 dup2 from fd5 > &=5 Nov 15 23:53:30 server amavis[2945]: open_on_specific_fd: source fd5 closed Nov 15 23:53:30 server amavis[2945]: open_on_specific_fd: target fd2 closing, to become > /dev/null Nov 15 23:53:30 server amavis[2944]: system uptime 0 2:08:00: 23:53:30 up 2:08, 1 user, load average: 0.02, 0.09, 0.08 Nov 15 23:53:30 server amavis[2944]: Valid PID file (younger than sys uptime 0 2:08:00) Nov 15 23:53:30 server amavis[2944]: starting. /usr/sbin/amavisd at server.minecrafthostingcompany.com amavisd-new-2.6.4 (20090625), Unicode aware, LANG="en_US.UTF-8" Nov 15 23:53:30 server amavis[2944]: user=, EUID: 496 (496); group=, EGID: 493 493 (493 493) Nov 15 23:53:30 server amavis[2944]: Perl version 5.010001 Nov 15 23:53:30 server amavis[2944]: SpamControl: attempting to load scanner SpamAssassin, module Amavis::SpamControl::SpamAssassin Nov 15 23:53:30 server amavis[2944]: SpamControl: scanner SpamAssassin, module Amavis::SpamControl::SpamAssassin Nov 15 23:53:30 server amavis[2944]: INFO: SA version: 3.3.2, 3.003002, no optional modules: Net::CIDR::Lite Sys::Hostname::Long IP::Country::Fast Image::Info Image::Info::GIF Image::Info::JPEG Image::Info::PNG Image::Info::TIFF Nov 15 23:53:30 server amavis[2944]: SpamControl: init_pre_chroot on SpamAssassin done Nov 15 23:53:30 server amavis[2944]: _WARN: Pid_file "/var/run/amavisd/amavisd.pid" already exists.
