Problem :

After upgrade Amavisd does not start and zimbra.log shows the following errors.

Not able to start Amavis services, error : 
Dec 21 10:02:29 server amavis[7787]: initializing Mail::SpamAssassin (0) 
Dec 21 10:02:29 server amavis[7787]: (!!)TROUBLE in pre_loop_hook: config: no rules were found! Do you need to run 'sa-update'? 
Dec 21 10:02:29 server amavis[7787]: (!)_DIE: Suicide () TROUBLE in pre_loop_hook: config: no rules were found! Do you need to run 'sa-update'?

Solution :

The problem occurs due to the problems with the SpamAssassin database. To resolve this, we'll have to update the database.

  • If the server has Internet access then running sa-update will resolve the issue:
su - zimbra

In 8.7 and prior:

/opt/zimbra/zimbramon/bin/sa-update -D
zmamavisdctl restart

In 8.8+:

/opt/zimbra/common/bin/sa-update -D
zmamavisdctl restart
  • If the server is an isolated network, we'll regenerate the database:
    • Check “state” directory in “/opt/zimbra/data/spamassassin/”
    • If the “state” directory is present, then move it to some other location and restart Amavisd service.
mv /opt/zimbra/data/spamassassin/state /tmp/state  
zmamavisdctl restart
