Upgraded amavisd-new from 2003 20030616_p9 to 20040701 and replaced my amavisd.conf with the one provided by 20040701. I then set a couple of options per my server. Attempting to re-start the daemon gives the error: /etc/init.d/amavisd start * Starting amavisd-new... Array found where operator expected at /etc/amavisd.conf line 1506, at end of line (Missing semicolon on previous line?) Error in config file /etc/amavisd.conf: syntax error at /etc/amavisd.conf line 1506, near "@av_scanners " I copied /usr/portage/mail-filter/amavisd-new/files/amavisd.conf to /etc and tried to re-start again but got the same error. I re-set my options and then I added a ';' above line 1506. That fixed the problem and the daemon started up and works fine. I couldn't find the actual line that was missing the ';' though. I looked around the file but it wasn't anywhere obvious.

remove the leading "w" line 1454.
Yeah that was it. Thanks.

Fixed in portage.
