MES5 in runlevel 3 stuck after starting mavisd. Can't change back to runlevel 5

I'm using MES5 and I changed runlevel in inittab from 5 to 3. Now MES is stuck after starting amavisd, and I can't login. I can change runlevel via SSH, but I'm curious why this is happening?

Does syslog or wherever Amavisd logs to show any clues?

I'm sorry it took me so long to answer you unSpawn.
I cannot read anything from the logs due to lack of knowledge. But I saw this when it ran with init 3:
Failed to register Razor. Try to run as root, su -amavis -s /bin/sh -c 'razor-admin -Register && razor-admin-discover'

I tried to run it but without success.

See http://logreporters.sourceforge.net/ (and Logwatch): should make reporting and interpreting what's reported easier.

Case matters and AFAIK "-register" should be lowercase. Read 'man razor-admin' then try

Code:

su -amavis -s /bin/sh -c 'razor-admin -d -create' 2>&1 | tee /tmp/razorcreate.txt
su -amavis -s /bin/sh -c 'razor-admin -d -register' 2>&1 | tee -a /tmp/razorcreate.txt
su -amavis -s /bin/sh -c 'razor-admin -d -discover' 2>&1 | tee -a /tmp/razorcreate.txt

The file "/tmp/razorcreate.txt" then holds a record of stdout and stderr of all three commands, provided you noticed the "-a" switch using 'tee' ;-p
