Not an error, just an informative message at log level 2 (syslog: LOG_INFO).
amavisd-new-2.6.0 release notes
- smtp client connection caching is a new feature which allows smtp client
code in amavisd to keep a SMTP session to MTA open after forwarding a
message or a notification, so that a next mail message that needs to be
sent by this child process can avoid re-establishing a session and the
initial greeting/EHLO (and TLS) handshake.
A current value of a global settings $smtp_connection_cache_enable
controls whether a session will be retained after forwarding a message
or not. Its default initial value is true.
