Re: Could not open dir (/var/lib/amavis/tmp

Are you using a new-ish linux as your server?  I've run into what
looks like the same problem here.  We're running Redhat Enterprise 4.
I've found two potential solutions.  The first is that you can
change your amavisd config "ask_daemon" line:

   \&ask_daemon, ["{}/\n", '/var/run/sophie'],

to

   \&ask_daemon, ["{}/*\n", '/var/run/sophie'],

I haven't really tested this much, but it seemed to work.  The
other potential solution I've seen mention of on the net is to
patch the sophie_scandir.c source (see diff below).  I'm not
clear on the real problem (not up on the fine points of readdir()
and the various linux releases), but the patch does seem to work.
This is what we're running with now.

        while ((direntry = readdir(dirpt)))
        {
+               /* Let's get rid of '.' and '..' properly*/
+                  if((strcmp(direntry->d_name,".")==0)||(strcmp(direntry->d_name,"..")==0))
+                 {
+                         continue;
+                 }
                memset(path, 0, sizeof(path));
                strncat(path, dirpath, sizeof(path)-1);
                strncat(path, "/", sizeof(path)-1);

Let me know if the diff output doesn't make sense.
