This is the kind of test where you earn your stripes as an IT manager.
How many processes (child processes) is postfix limited to? Does it need
to be increased?
How many processes (child processes) is amavis limited to? Does it need
to be increased?
Does the mail spool stay tied up in postfix while amavis is scanning the
file?
Can you increased logging levels of postfix/amavis to give you a clue as
to where it is getting hung?
As for alerts...that's a toughie. I use webmin and it has the ability to
monitor postfix and could probably be configured to look at things like
ps output or others to monitor amavis but I would normally have it send
an email out to my 'pager/text messaging' but if postfix dies, good
luck. If you have a modem on this system, you could write a shell script
to call in to another system or use your imagination to get it to log
onto another system to send you a page.
