Comment # 2 on bug 1210267 from Freek de Kruijf

In the new version of /etc/amavisd.conf I have:

# $MYHOME = '/var/amavis';   # a convenient default for other settings, -H
$TEMPBASE = "$MYHOME/tmp";   # working directory, needs to exist, -T
$ENV{TMPDIR} = $TEMPBASE;    # environment variable TMPDIR, used by SA, etc.
$QUARANTINEDIR = '/var/virusmails';  # -Q

I the previous version of this file $MYHOME was /var/spool/amavis . Although
the line with the assignment is comment; after starting amavis with the new
conf file, I got error messages that the folders /var/amavis/{tmp,db} did not
exist, so I created these folders with the vscan:vscan as owner:group, and
deleted /var/spool/amavis and its content. After this I got error messages that
CHDIR did not exist, which I could fix changing the work directory in
/usr/lib/systemd/system/amavis.service from /var/spool/amavis to /var/amavis .
