cd amavisd new 20030616

cp amavisd /usr/local/sbin

cp amavisd.conf /etc

chown root /etc/amavisd.conf

chmod 644

/etc/amavisd.conf

Now it is the the time to define a group and a user for amavisd new

groupadd amavis

useradd  g amavis  c "Amavisd new user" amavis

Next you have to define a directory for the quarantined mail:

mkdir /var/virusmails

chown amavis:amavis /var/virusmails

chmod 750 /var/virusmails

mkdir /var/amavis

chown amavis:amavis /var/amavis

chmod 750 /var/amavis

The original init script in the amavisd new distribution does only work work with

Redhat. Other distributions need to install my quick and dirty init script:

#!/bin/bash

#

# Amavisd new startup script

case "$1" in

start)

# Starting amavisd

/usr/local/sbin/amavisd

;;

stop)

# follows later

;;

*)

echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"

exit 1

;;

esac
