Package: amavis-ng
Version: 0.1.6.9-1
Severity: normal

Hi!

We have amavis-ng, H+BEDV's antivir and qmail running.

When an email goes through the chain and in the same second the antivir
updater retireves a new antivir.vdf virus description antivir exits with
code 212: "The file antivir.vdf could not be read".

amavis-ng should better react to that error code and exit with code 111
(in case of qmail) denoting a temporary failure (deferral). Maybe other
MTAs have similar means for program deliveries.

Maybe there are other circumstances which should be treated as temporary
failures and not cause amavis-ng to put these emails into the problems
directory.
