    So most likely amavisd-new has stopped or is otherwise not responding. Assuming you are not running an ancient version, grep your mail log for !.

    grep ! /var/log/maillog

    (or whatever your mail log is called) and look for errors that amavisd-new may have produced. You can increase $log_level to 5 in amavisd.conf for a short period of time and read the results of this detailed logging in your mail log. You can also stop amavisd-new and run it in debug mode (in the foreground) for a short period of time:

    amavisd debug

    If it dies while in debug mode, the last 5 or so lines may give some clues as to why. There is also a program called amavisd-nanny that you can run for a brief period that will monitor amavisd-new activity:

    http://marc.info/?l=amavis-user&m=118955545631169

    Amavisd-new does not use spamd, it loads the Mail::SpamAssassin Perl module directly. Unless you are scanning mail twice, you typically do not, and should not start up spamd.

    It cannot be determined what the cause of the amavisd-new failure is without seeing log entries or the result of debugging.
    I suggest that the result of what you find in the log or the debugging session is directed to the amavis mailing list.
