PRMs provided in the people directory are not official RPMs and not
approved by QA. Or, in other words, RPMs in my people directory may not be
well-tested or tested at all. Unfortunately, the 00INDEX file with the
standard disclaimer "--> THESE ARE NOT OFFICIAL SuSE RPMs!!! USE AT YOUR
OWN RISK!!!" is missing for 8.1

The amavisd-sendmail.spec contains two errors, which have been fixed
lately.

Edit /etc/amavisd.conf and change $QUARANTINEDIR to
/var/spool/vscan/virusmails (default is /var/virusmails, which is wrong)

Create /var/run/amavis, owned by vscan:root and set permissions to 0700.

Fixed RPMs will probably available as soon time permits, but my diploma
thesis has a _much_ higher prio.
