Sometimes, depends on if amavis is busy processing a mail when doing the 
shutdown.

I tried sleep 60 and it didn't come back up again this night but Mea 
culpa: I modified my amavis config so it would quarantine spam and 
reference it in a mysql database. This database grew huge over time and 
it took amavis ages to deal with an email. A little cleanup and mysql 
tuning gets amavis much faster.
