Hi,
i have the similar problem like
http://marc.info/?l=amavis-user&m=113578220822655&w=2
I user amavis-new 2.4.2 with 100 processes on a server with 8 GB RAM and
4 CPU 3.40GHz.
I don't have performance problems.
I use Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 with
perl-BerkeleyDB-0.27-1.2 and db4-4.2.52-7.1.
The daily mailtraffic is 1.000.000 incoming (95 % Spammails) on 2 server.
When I use the daily quarantine cleanup script every night
the DB are always locked for this (long) time.
The ceanup script is: (README.sql)
1. DELETE FROM msgs WHERE time_num < UNIX_TIMESTAMP()-14*24*60*60;
2. DELETE FROM msgs WHERE time_num < UNIX_TIMESTAMP()-60*60 AND content
IS NULL;
3. DELETE FROM quarantine WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM msgs WHERE
mail_id=quarantine.mail_id);
4. DELETE FROM msgrcpt WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM msgs WHERE
mail_id=msgrcpt.mail_id);
5. DELETE FROM maddr WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM msgs WHERE
sid=id) AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM msgrcpt WHERE rid=id);
6. OPTIMIZE TABLE msgs, msgrcpt, quarantine, maddr;
The time for the script is 3-4 ours and in this time the DB is always
locked and so
i have a lot of mail in mailq and in the TMP directory of amavis I
have a lot of new directorys. My problem is, that in the night I could not
receive mails for some ours. The mails goes in the mailq and then ours
after
I receive the mails.
So I have alwas to delete the new direcotries in the TMP of Amavis.
Here's the log excerpt from one of the messages that got deferred:

My 3 questaons are:
1. Exist some solution to cleanup the DB without locking long time.
2. It is vetter to delete first the INDEX
DROP INDEX msgs_idx_sid ON msgs;
DROP INDEX msgrcpt_idx_rid ON msgrcpt;
DROP INDEX msgrcpt_idx_mail_id ON msgrcpt;
and after cleaning reindex the INDEX?
CREATE INDEX msgs_idx_sid ON msgs (sid);
CREATE INDEX msgrcpt_idx_rid ON msgrcpt (rid);
CREATE INDEX msgrcpt_idx_mail_id ON msgrcpt (mail_id);
3. Some other people has the same problem?
I would use a TMP in the RAM, but if I have this problem I could use it.
Thanks!

COMMENTED LONGER EXAMPLE of a log/report/quarantine database housekeeping
=========================================================================
-- discarding indexes makes deletion faster; if we expect a large
proportion
-- of records to be deleted it may be quicker to discard index, do
deletions,
-- and re-create index (not necessary with PostgreSQL, may benefit MySQL);
-- for daily maintenance this does not pay off
--DROP INDEX msgs_idx_sid ON msgs;
--DROP INDEX msgrcpt_idx_rid ON msgrcpt;
--DROP INDEX msgrcpt_idx_mail_id ON msgrcpt;
-- delete old msgs records based on timestamps only (for time_iso see
next),
-- and delete leftover msgs records from aborted mail checking operations
DELETE FROM msgs WHERE time_num < UNIX_TIMESTAMP()-14*24*60*60;
DELETE FROM msgs WHERE time_num < UNIX_TIMESTAMP()-60*60 AND content IS
NULL;
-- provided the time_iso field was created as type TIMESTAMP DEFAULT 0
(MySQL)
-- or TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE (PostgreSQL), instead of purging based on
-- numerical Unix timestamp as above, one may select records based on
ISO 8601
-- UTC timestamps. This is particularly suitable for PostgreSQL:
--DELETE FROM msgs WHERE time_iso < now() - INTERVAL '14 days';
--DELETE FROM msgs WHERE time_iso < now() - INTERVAL '1 h' AND content
IS NULL;
and is also possible with MySQL, using slightly different format:
--DELETE FROM msgs
-- WHERE time_iso < UTC_TIMESTAMP() - INTERVAL 14 day;
--DELETE FROM msgs
-- WHERE time_iso < UTC_TIMESTAMP() - INTERVAL 1 hour AND content IS NULL;
-- optionally certain content types may be given shorter lifetime
--DELETE FROM msgs WHERE time_num < UNIX_TIMESTAMP()-7*24*60*60
-- AND (content='V' OR (content='S' AND spam_level>20));
-- (optional) just in case the ON DELETE CASCADE did not do its job, we may
-- explicitly delete orphaned records (with no corresponding msgs entry);
-- if ON DELETE CASCADE did work, there should be no deletions at this step
DELETE FROM quarantine
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM msgs WHERE mail_id=quarantine.mail_id);
DELETE FROM msgrcpt
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM msgs WHERE mail_id=msgrcpt.mail_id);
-- re-create indexes (if they were removed in the first step):
--CREATE INDEX msgs_idx_sid ON msgs (sid);
--CREATE INDEX msgrcpt_idx_rid ON msgrcpt (rid);
--CREATE INDEX msgrcpt_idx_mail_id ON msgrcpt (mail_id);
-- delete unreferenced e-mail addresses
DELETE FROM maddr
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM msgs WHERE sid=id)
AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM msgrcpt WHERE rid=id);
-- (optional) optimize tables once in a while
--OPTIMIZE TABLE msgs, msgrcpt, quarantine, maddr;
