DBD::mysql::st execute failed

[Steve Scotter]

Hi all,

On a regular basis at around 3am most mornings the following message is logged to syslog.

2013-02-09 03:30:31
(78636-03) (!!)TROUBLE in check_mail: gen_mail_id FAILED: find_or_save_addr: failed to insert addr xxx at xxx.xx: sql exec: err=1205, HY000, DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction at (eval 114) line 172. at (eval 115) line 115.

During this time I have a script which runs to tidy up the databases...

I just wondering how long amavis waits for a lock on a MySQL database table and is there is any way to override it?

The message is simply deferred and it's retried (and sent without problems) about 5 mins later.

Thanks

Steve
