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!

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.

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?

Thanks again!
