It depends from your MTA + SA setup. I use postfix + amavis + SA. Postfix is configured to pre- and post-queue messages around amavis. Postfix and amavis comm by inet/unix socks. SA is run embedded into amavis. As a result, this confs allow restarting amavis (cf.: SA) without loosing messages: the postfix pre-queue would store unchecked messages and then would resubmit them as soon as amavis starts again. I'm used to issue a 'postqueue -f' command just after amavis restart. giampaolo > > - rh > > -- > Robert - Abba Communications > Computer & Internet Services > (509) 624-7159 - www.abbacomm.net > > >
