Hi folks,

been running postfix with amavis (and spamass thru amavis) and all has been
fine for almost a year now. Friday evening there was a blackout and the UPS
failed which gave some of our servers something to think about.

The main mailserver which this is about, got a rough powerdown and when it
came back up all I see is mail getting stuck in the mailq (looking with the
command mailq) and these errors for every mail coming in:

pickles:/etc/postfix# tail /var/log/mail.warn

pickles:/etc/postfix#

I checked the daemons (all working fine, telnetting into the appropiate
ports etc) and I tried rebooting a bit nicer once to let it clean up
whatever that could have been wrong (pid'files etc).

But nothing seems to help, im very puzzled right now and could use some
hints on what this means. I mean, nothing has _changed_ if not this shows
in any way that a file/conf has been corrupted by the powerdown.

The versions:

pickles:/var/log# dpkg -l | grep postfix
ii amavis-postfix 20020517-25 Interface between MTA and virus scanner.
ii postfix 1.1.11.0-3 A high-performance mail transport agent

pickles:/var/log# dpkg -l | grep spam
ii razor 1.20-1.1 spam-catcher using a collaborative filtering
ii spamassassin 2.53-1 Perl-based spam filter using text analysis
ii spamc 2.53-1 Client for perl-based spam filtering daemon

and the master.cf:

-------------------------

I've enclosed the main.cf in an attachtment since its quite big.

ANY help is appreciated :-(
