Description Ed Wildgoose 2005-05-17 10:44:13 UTC 
After pulling my hair out for a bit after an upgrade to amavisd-new 2.3.1 I
realised that the conf files patch causes a very subtle problem

See here from the ebuild patch:

-$QUARANTINEDIR = '/var/virusmails';
+$QUARANTINEDIR = '$MYHOME/quarantine';

The second line should have double quotes or else the $MYHOME is not expanded! 
This leads to errors in the log files about being "unable to write to dir
$MYHOME/quarantine" - took me a while to realise why!!

Anyway, please can someone change the single quotes for double quotes ASAP,
perhaps it will save someone else some hair pulling!

Thanks

Reproducible: Always

/etc/init.d/amavis restart
