Problem starting amavisd with newer version

[Richard Smits]

Hello,

amavisd-new-2.10.1 (20141025) works.

If I use the 2.11 version i get an error that my spamlovers file cannot 
be found ? Is this a chroot issue ?

Jul 18 11:09:19 mailhost2n amavisd: Error in config file 
"/etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf": Can't open file /home/amavis/spam_lovers 
for reading: Permission denied at /usr/sbin/amavisd line 4388.

amavisd.conf : @spam_lovers_maps = read_hash("$MYHOME/spam_lovers");

If i change the location to /tmp/spam_lovers or something it still 
doesn't work. User/group rights are ok.

If I downgrade it works.

How is this possible ?

Greetings, Richard.
