Yeah, I started with this on the clamav lists and only started posting here when they said "Clamav and the clamav-milter is starting and working correctly and we can't see any reason your sendmail config would not be working either, but... sendmail, for whatever reason, is not communicating with the clamav-milter process." > When you start clamv... are you specifying that it use the socket name > specifed above? > > i.e. /var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock > > FWIW: With the milters I have used, the socket name is usually > specifed with a command line argument. Something like: clamv > --socket=/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock Yep, the socket is in place and as far as I can tell the permissions should be OK: [root@guardian root]# cd /var/run [root@guardian run]# ls -ld clamav drwxrwxrwx 2 clamav clamav 4096 Feb 9 09:00 clamav [root@guardian run]# ls -l clamav total 4 srwxrwxrwx 1 clamav clamav 0 Feb 9 09:00 clamav-milter.sock -rw-rw---- 1 clamav clamav 4 Feb 9 09:00 clamd.pid srwxrwxrwx 1 clamav clamav 0 Feb 9 09:00 clamd.sock [root@guardian run]# We were all quite puzzled and so I turned to the ultimate source of technical knowledge... the Red Hat support lists! ;-D -- Michael St. Laurent Hartwell Corporation -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
