No Errors, But Process Killed Immediately

The quickest way to get debugging on the screen and prevent
amavisd from daemonizing is to run it as:  # amavisd debug

> [from amavisd.conf]
> # true (e.g. 1) => syslog;  false (e.g. 0) => logging to file
> $DO_SYSLOG = 1;                   # (defaults to false)
> #$SYSLOG_LEVEL = 'user.info';     # (facility.priority, default
> 'mail.info')
> 
> # Log file (if not using syslog)
> $LOGFILE = "$MYHOME/amavis.log";  # (defaults to empty, no log)
> 
> Not quite sure what it means about defaulting to empty since there is a

If $DO_SYSLOG is true then logging goes to syslog,
and $LOGFILE is ignored.
