Description Vladimir Gurevich 2013-03-20 03:39:24 CET

Description of problem:

amavisd-new doesn't seem to be fully adapted to the new filesystem layout and fails to start because of the missing directories

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

2.8.0-9.mga3

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. systemctl start amavisd.service
2. systemctl status amavisd.service


Temporary workaround to prove the point:

mkdir -p /var/run/amavis/tmp /var/run/amavis/db
chown -R amavis.amavis /var/run/amavis

This probably needs to be added to /etc/init.d/amavisd

After that amavis starts just fine (another problem is that by default it listens on port 100024, though Postfix expects it to listen on 10025, that is fixed by editing /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf). 

Unless there is another replacement for a good email content filter, this is a big deal.


Reproducible: 

Steps to Reproduce:

Did you restart the box after installing amavisd-new.
The files are being created at boot. My box shows after e-boot:

The line in the %post section was wrong.
Thanks for the bug report. I believe it's now solved
