I'm using postfix 2.7.1 with amavis 2.7.0 as a proxy. After some clients reported errors sending email, I've noticed postfix is sometimes unable to relay email to amavis due to 'queue file write error'. I'm kinda clueless, why... Unfortunately I can't see no logs at that time in the maillog. Due to this being an active server ( ~100 msgs/minute) I don't dare starting amavis in debug mode.
