I’ve been running 7.3c3-3 on Ubuntu 16.04. When I reboot the system I always see an error message on the SurgeMail status page:

LAST SHUTDOWN WAS UNCLEAN :-) -- Examine logs crash*.log to establish cause

The log files don’t give any hints about the problem that I can see.

I am in the process of moving my server to a new location, and I’ve switched to Centos 7. I see the same error there on a fresh, brand new installation of SurgeMail 7.3c3-3 with no accounts and the default surgemail.ini file.

I did a manual shutdown with "/etc/init.d/surgemail stop” and it shutdown cleanly.

Any ideas how to get a clean automatic SurgeMail shutdown when I’m shutting down the system? Is this a known problem?
