errr... No. That is not the command from the crontab. The correct
command is:

test -e /usr/sbin/amavisd-new-cronjob && /usr/sbin/amavisd-new-cronjob sa-sync

i.e. we only execute the command if it is installed.

Passing "test -e" more then one parameter doesn't make sense.

I don't know why you might be getting errors from the cronjob, however I
think you are going to have to rethink your diagnoses. Or send me the
actual error cron in giving you.
