ParticipantWhat I mean by not all services are restarting completely is that amavis is troublesome. Sometimes upon restarting the mail service, it will work flawlessly. Othertimes it may take several stop/starts to resolve half issues such as queueing due to amavis not restarted, slow mail delivery, slow DNS lookups for domain checks through amavis, etc.
I find that a reboot is the best way as it will make sure everything comes back up and working as it should.
Of course, tommorow at 3.15AM, the same thing happens and amavis gets neutured again.
I’m trying to find a relavant cause to the amavis issue since if I can remove what is stopping logging/neutering amavis at 3.15AM daily, the whole isssue is pretty much resolved.
Unfortunately, I am not very well versed in the underlying Mac OS under the GUI.
Maybe you can answer this question for me. In the periodic/daily scripts, what does the number in front of the filename mean? I’m assuming these are times? If so, I am contemplating putting in a 320.daily-reboot file with a restart script for the time being to reduce our blacklist placement (due to SPAMS being forwarded) and also reduce our SPAM overall.
If you can point out to me where I should be looking for possible malicious software or code, that would be greatly appreciated!

ParticipantTvE- I was beginning to think that I’m the only one here…
Unfortunately your theory about 10.4.8 is inaccurate- I am currently running 10.4.8! 😕
I have been rebooting the machine daily as I come in – I find that’s the best way to get everything up and running again- stopping and starting the mail service is not reliable as most of the time it will not start up alk the services correctly.

ParticipantI’ve added an additional script to run daily per:

Hopefully this will keep the logs running and I can see the issue.
MacTroll, this issue happens daily, not weekly as it should if it were due to the rolling logs. Also, this only happens to the Junk Mail/Virus Scanning logs; all the other logs continue on as normal (IMAP, POP, etc).
