Thanks for that. There is nothing in that log, unfortunately that points 
to the issue. Here is the result of my starting amavisd:-
[root at bilbo subsys]# service amavisd start
Starting amavisd:                                          [  OK  ]

[root at bilbo subsys]# service amavisd status
amavisd dead but subsys locked
[root at bilbo subsys]#

... and here is the log fragment for that start:
Jul 20 18:27:41 bilbo amavis[7120]: starting.  /usr/sbin/amavisd at 
bilbo.stow-jones.local amavisd-new-2.4.1 (20060508), Unicode aware, 
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
Jul 20 18:27:41 bilbo amavis[7120]: Perl version               5.008008

,,, and if I try and shut the service down, I get the following message:
[root at bilbo subsys]# service amavisd stop
Shutting down amavisd:                                     [FAILED]

[root at bilbo subsys]# service amavisd status
amavisd dead but subsys locked
[root at bilbo subsys]#

Which says to me that something is wrong, but I cannot see where.
