Now it's running, but in debug mode I see

ERROR : Could not open file /var/log/mail: Permission denied
Well, I am logging amavisd-new to /var/log/mail to keep
all info in one place.
/var/log/mail is rw-r----- on all my systems, owned by root:root.
How to manage that?
Well you could probably change ownership of /var/log/mail to vscan
to have a better separation I'm logging amavisd-new to /var/log/
amavisd.log and this one is rw-r----- vscan:root which allows my
amavis-stats to read it.
btw.. i didn't like the default install paths of it so if you want
it to install to a (in my opinion) nicer destination like
/usr/share/amavis-stats/ (for php and config)
/var/lib/amavis-stats/ (for rrd stuff)
etc, feel free to use my configure statement:
./configure --enable-id-check --with-user=vscan --mandir=/usr/share/
man --datadir=/usr/share \
--sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --sbindir=/sbin --prefix=/
usr/share/amavis-stats
.configure --enable-id-check --with-user=vscan --with-group=vscan --
prefix=/usr \
--mandir=/usr/share/man --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc
Well I left the group as-is (www) because that allows me to set very
tight permissions and the webserver ist still able to read all it wants....
Thanks for the cleaning up. I thought there should be a shorter solution
but after some trial and error in my virtual machine i noticed the above
works so i used it :)
