Okay, this bug can be closed. my pardon. It was caused because I had modified the user to vmail instead of amavis. Root cause was that the user amavis didn't have +wx-Permission on vmail's .spamassassin-directory.
Anyway: if ubuntu would have used the newer version of /usr/sbin /amavisd-new-cronjob that debian provides in amavisd-new_2.7.1-2_all.deb life would be much easier... ** Changed in: amavisd-new (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Information type changed from Public to Private -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to amavisd-new in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1271538 Title: Amavis-Cronjob fails due to problem with SU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amavisd-new/+bug/1271538/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
