amavisd-new again

[Steven Pritchard]

If anyone wants to further pre-review it, my latest amavisd-new
package is here:

  http://ftp.kspei.com/pub/steve/rpms/amavisd-new-2.3.2-5.src.rpm

The couple of extra perl modules needed should be in the same
directory.

I'm almost positive all of rpmlint's complaints are bogus (or at least
necessary for the way this has to interact with clamav).

I think I fixed that.  Apparently I started moving things around and
then forgot what I was doing or something...  :-)

I would think not.

Oh?

The message it sends to the mail server gets logged, so is that really
a problem?

Probably not.

In my last package, I had the clamd config there too.  So no, it
doesn't.  I wonder how bad it would mess up upgrades if I drop that
directory...

I'm pretty sure I have the quarantine disabled.  (Given that nearly
50% of the mail coming through the servers I take care of is either
spam or viruses, quarantining seems insane to me.  As do
notifications, for that matter.)

I'll see what I can do about that.

And later...

No, and I can't remember why it was ever there.  (This used to be a
spec for amavis-ng a *long* time ago...)  I dropped it.
