Ah, Ok. I was wondering how to match both safety and statistic data preserving. Safety is important because if the system to which amavis is attached is having a power failure and you haven't an UPS for doing a clean shutdown, then when power returns you might have that amavis won't start (as you said could be locked) and your system won't receive any mail anymore. Is the locked "state" detectable in some way? Because if so, maybe there could be some special thing in the "init" script: it will start amavis in a way to preserve or create the DB (Amavis::DB::init(1)), and if after a certain timeout amavis is not yet started or would result locked, then it will try to start amavisd again with passing some command line option to tell to discard the DB as currently done (Amavis::DB::init(0)). WDYT? Is that feasible? Thanks. Bye Giuseppe. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
