Amavis filtering stops when logs stop?

Since I am not getting anywhere on trying to find out what's going on, here's a call for help: We find that logging stops at 3.15AM daily as expected. Logging does not resume unless we stop/start the mail service or reboot. However, when logging stops, any filtering stops with it. Meaning I can see a flurry of SPAM coming in at the 3.15AM mark until I get in the morning and restart the service or reboot depending on my mood. :cry: I have been told by a lot of people that if amavis goes down, mail is queued and will not be delivered. I find this not to be the case as mail is still being delivered, but upon log reset at 3.15AM, the new log is not started and amavis does not filter anything. As a stopgap measure, does anyone know how to schedule reboots, say at 3.20AM daily? Has anyone encountered the same issue where upon a log reset at 3.15AM, amavis gets neutured and stops looking at the messages? I know its still running since mail does not queue up. Any help is greatly appreciated. Due to this issue, we are getting on quite a few blacklists and it is very troublesome to get delisted. This is due to 2 issues: A lot of our users are forwarding all their emails from our domain address to their personal accounts (Yahoo, etc). This is fine if amavis is running correctly as SPAM is mitigated, but when its not there's trouble. A possible open relay situation, but I cannot find a hole anywhere that I know of. Help:!:
