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.
