</div><br>So this isn't a crash, but a voluntary exit after an unrecoverable error.<br>
<br>
Perhaps the BerkeleyDB perl module hasn't been reinstalled after<br>
a libdb (berkeley db) or a Perl upgrade?<br>
<br>
Also, stop amavisd, delete all database files (if any) in /var/lib/amavis/db/<br>
and restart.<br>

</font></blockquote></div><br>I appreciate the clarification on it not crashing, I wasn't really sure what else to call it. I checked the BerkeleyDB Perl module & Perl itself and those both looked OK, then I emptied /var/lib/amavis/db/ and restarted it and it's working!<br>
<br>I was doing some more googling on it and ran across this which suggested the same fix as you to remove the db's and restart so that's where I was heading when I saw your reply. <a href="http://albanianwizard.org/amavisd-new-trouble-in-pre_loop_hook-berkeleydb.albanianwizard">http://albanianwizard.org/amavisd-new-trouble-in-pre_loop_hook-berkeleydb.albanianwizard</a><br>
<br>That's the important part, I'll remember that if it happens again. I know it's hard to tell and could probably be any number of things, but do you have any suggestions on why the db's got corrupted? <br>
<br>Thanks again!<br><br>Darhl<br>
