The "Requesting process rundown after 20 tasks" is normal and happens when $max_requests tasks has been processed by a child process - the child process terminates, but Net::Server running in a parent process immediately creates a fresh replacement process. The second event looks loks like a normal restart: the process 17612 is shutting down, while the new 8442 is starting. Something is sending a restart signal to amavisd, perhaps some cron job or a log file rotator. Mark
