Not baselayout.

No errors in the logs, and ps reveals that amavis is running. And it functions fine, too. It's just that the rc script doesn't report the right result. It worked fine under baselayout-1, it's only since I upgraded to baselayout-2 that this problem came up.

After consulting Roy regarding baselayout2, I've added "--name amavisd" to start-stop-daemon call. This should fix it for you. Please sync in few hours and test.
