[Bug 731878] Re: amavis force-reload crashes amavis

[James Page]

Hi Florian

The 'restart' and 'force-reload' commands both stop and start the amavis
daemon which would explain why you have seen similar behaviour from both
commands.

I suspect that this is caused by the port not being fully released
before the new instance of the daemon tries to bind to the port - this
condition would result in this type of message.

Symptomatically I could reproduce this issue by stopping amavis, using
netcat to listen on port 10024 and then starting amavis.

Unfortunately that does not tell us what is causing this issue.

Perhaps you could capture the number of open connections to amavis prior
to restarting or force reloading to see if we can spot a pattern:

   sudo netstat -a | grep 10024

It would also be helpful to know which version of Ubuntu and Amavis you
are using - you can do this automatically using apport:

   apport-collect 731878

Thanks
