Description Davin Boling 2004-04-12 12:23:06 UTC

By default, the following line is present in amavisd.conf as of amavisd-new-20030616_p8:

$QUARANTINEDIR = '/var/virusmails';

This directory is not created by the ebuild and the amavis user lacks the permissions to be able to create this directory on most configurations. This results in error messages being written to the system log whenever a message containing a virus is detected, as well as a bounce to the original sender of the virus. The message is then held in the queue until the problem is fixed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. NA - default configuration



Either this directory needs to be created by default, or the quarentine behavior
needs to be disabled and left to the user to define.
