Maybe It was not.
Maybe It was just marked as disabled in the web interface (that show
LDAP data only)
This is kolabd that make the real job of reconfiguring application as
defined in LDAP.
Maybe kolabd is stopped or broken.
Did you restart other service than amavisd ?

Stopping amavisd alone should not do anything!
Be careful if you restart your server amavis should start again,
except if disabled in rc.conf.

I'm Happy you solved your problem
