Clamd & sendmail ??

[Jon Mercer]

I had this problem and traced it down to the fact that the default
location where clamav puts its socket is wrong. After editing
/usr/local/etc/clamav.conf so that LocalSocket looked like:

# Path to the local socket. The daemon doesn't change the mode of the
# created file (portability reasons). You may want to create it in a
directory
# which is only accessible for a user running daemon.
LocalSocket /var/run/clamav/clamd.sock

And the permissions on that directory are sorted (eg. clamav:clamav) it
all worked out.

Additionally, the logfile holds a wealth of info about what is going on.

Hope this helps,

Jon Mercer
