First - does the DIRECTORY exist? Logrotate will not create directories. Second - you may want to use 'missingok' directive - this will prevent raising an error. 'create' directive means - 'after rotation, create new one' but does not mean - 'create if the file does not exist' -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by "grep -i virus $MESSAGE" Trust me.
