/etc/cron.daily/amavisd-new: Please run this cronjob as user amavis

After a system update I started to receive cron messages saying “/etc/cron.daily/amavisd-new:
Please run this cronjob as user amavis”.

It turns out that this happens because the cron script is replaced by a new one located in /etc/cron.d and the one in /etc/cron.daily is left behind giving this error message.

Solution: After checking that the new script exists in /etc/cron.d, just delete /etc/cron.daily/amavisd-new
