I have Amavis and clamd both running as clamav user. I do not have any mail filters running (like sendmail milter or clamav-milter etc.).
In clamav.conf I have enabled the clamd's drop privileges to drop to clamav user after being started as root. When a mail comes in, amavis tries to start clamd but it gives the following error
Feb 20 19:46:13 MyMachine amavis[18775]: Virus scanner failure: ScannerDaemon - UNKNOWN STATUS (error code: /var/amavis/amavis-07047767/parts: Can't access the file ERROR)
The permissions are:
under /var, drwx------ 3 clamav root 4096 Feb 20 19:46 amavis
under /var/amavis, drwx------ 3 clamav root 4096 Feb 20 19:46 . drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 Feb 20 19:44 .. drwx------ 3 clamav root 4096 Feb 20 19:27 amavis-16072539 -rw------- 1 root clamav 91 Feb 20 19:20 amavis-clamd-error.dat
I am not sure what the problem could be? It runs fine if I comment out the "User clamav" option in /etc/clamav.conf file. (runs fine as root)
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Regards, Prakash
