I can't recall seeing that exit status, and don't see it in the man page. I assume you have simscan debugging turned on? (SIMSCAN_DEBUG="9" environment). It could be something in the qmail-queue chain. Regarding recordio, just put it at the front of your chain, i.e. just before rblsmtpd. Also, I use this multilog expression to grab just the 4x and 5x errors, which may or not be useful here: multilog t '-* * > *' '-* * < *' '+* * > 5*' '* > 4*' /var/log/qmail/smtpd-mx Anything interesting corresponding in your clamd or spamd logs?
