Amavis stoped, mails have been stucked in queue

[dipeshmehta]

Hello,

Amavis has been stoped, server status displays - Antispam and Antivirus services not running, and mails have been stucked into queue.

status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused)

I have restarted the server, but after clearing few mails from the queue, it stopped again. Help me please to resolve the issue.

You need to have a look in the log files for some further information about the problem. This has also been covered in the forums, did you look at some of those threads?

I found the cause. I removed one extension from attachment block list, and it caused stopping amavis. I was not aware about it has been stopped and mails are being queued. When I came to know after some time, there were lots of mails in diferred queue, and I couldn't find anything to restart any particular service, so I restarted the zimbra. After restart, it was working fine and mails started to clear from diferrd queue, but then I again put that extension into attachment block list, and again amavis stopped. I again restarted zimbra, and its now working fine.

Well, I would like to know, how can I restart any particular service through admin console (or CLI) without going to restart the whole zimbra.
