It appears that every time amavis shuts down, it erases /var/run/amavisd.

I do not know what the proper solution is, but for now I am editing
/etc/rc.d/init.d/amavisd, placing the following right after RETVAL=0
mkdir /var/run/amavisd
chgrp amavis /var/run/amavisd
chmod g+w /var/run/amavisd

In Fedora 15, /var/run and /var/lock are tmpfs filesystems and hence are
cleared at every reboot. All packages that maintain files/directories within
those directories need to take this into account. Creating them in the
initscript is one option, and dropping a file into /etc/tmpfiles.d to get
systemd to do it would be another.

See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/var-run-tmpfs

Is there anyway to get a proper fix in the RPM package?

Created attachment 501354
  --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=501354
tmpfile.d file

The fix seems to be to place this in /etc/tmpfile.d from the RPM. Is it
possible to get this added so that things work properly out of the box? Thank
you.

amavisd-new, clamd.amavid, and postfix is a common email configuration. Not
sure how something like this would slip through pre-release test.

I never did check clamd.amavisd. It may need a similar fix (although it works
without it, just as dspam largely did).

I have this file added and that doesn't work. No creation of the missed
directory in /var/run
even at boot or using start|stop of amavisd. May be this is  a timimg issue, I
couldn't find out why.

The only working solution at present is creating the missed directory inside of
the start|stop script, as Trever wrote already.

It's "/etc/tmpfiles.d", not "/etc/tmpfile.d"; the conf files from there are
processed by systemd at boot time. The package should also include the required
directories itself so that they are created at package install time so that the
package can work immediately after installation without requiring a reboot.

Sorry, was  typo, of course I have placed the file at the right directory,
there are several similiar files, for example httpd.conf. That doesn't work for
amavisd.

The attachment from Comment #4 doesn't line up with the permissions/ownership
in the spec file for amavisd-new, and that's why it's not working. Try using
this line instead:

d /var/run/amavisd 0755 amavis amavis -

This works for me.

Confirmed. Right ownership for user and group now. I'll remove now the - liitle
bit - ugly code from start stop script.
