I successfully got clamd to fire right up after I created and edited the
initial /etc/clam.conf file it needed. I read on the project site that
you can set up clamav-milter to be a sort of hook into Sendmail, which I
also run. I added these lines to my sendmail.mc file:
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(‘clmilter’,‘S=local:/var/run/clamav/clmilter.sock,F=,
T=S:4m;R:4m’)dnl
define(‘confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS’, ‘clmilter’)
Then I restart sendmail, and I get this error:
# /etc/init.d/sendmail restart
Shutting down sendmail: [ OK ]
Shutting down sm-client: [ OK ]
Starting sendmail: 554 5.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 1672:
Xclmilter: unknown filter equate =
554 5.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 1672: Xclmilter: empty or missing
socket information
[FAILED]
Starting sm-client: [ OK ]
I've searched google groups for this error message, and I only found one
link, which wasn't in English. I did notice the part though about
having to start the clamav-milter first. So, I tried:
# /etc/init.d/clamav-milter restart
Stopping Clamav Milter Daemon: [FAILED]
Starting Clamav Milter Daemon: clamav-milter: socket-addr
(local:/var/clamav/clmilter.socket) doesn't agree with sendmail.cf
[FAILED]
So, I'm seeing something in these errors: references to two different files:
/var/run/clamav/clmilter.sock
/var/clamav/clmilter.socket
I went into the sendmail.mc file and edited it to match
/var/clamav/clmilter.socket and tried it again, but that didn't work either.
Has anyone seen this before?

Yes. I have run into this problem before.
Make sure the /etc/sysconfig/clamav-milter file and the
/etc/mail/sendmail.[mc]f file reference the same file.
Make sure permissions are correct on both the file and the directory
/var/clamav.
In my case, clamav-milter is running as clamav:clamav.
ls -l /var/clamav
drwxr-xr-x 3 clamav clamav 240 Nov 23 12:39 .
srwxr-xr-x 1 clamav clamav 0 Nov 23 08:10 clmilter.socket
Thanks Eric, I got clamav-milter starting fine now based on having them
both point at the same file. Now my problem is still this with sendmail:
# /etc/init.d/sendmail restart
Shutting down sendmail: [ OK ]
Shutting down sm-client: [ OK ]
Starting sendmail: 554 5.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 1672:
Xclmilter: unknown filter equate =
554 5.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 1672: Xclmilter: empty or missing
socket information
[FAILED]
Starting sm-client: [ OK ]
I'm not sure what to do here - since I took this line straight from the
ClamAV install doc:
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(‘clmilter’,‘S=local:/var/clamav/clmilter.socket,F=,
T=S:4m;R:4m’)dnl
define(‘confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS’, ‘clmilter’)
Granted, I modified it to point to the right file - but the syntax is
the same. My only question at this point - this file (clmilter.socket),
it still doesn't exist yet. When should it get created? I've restarted
clamd and clamav-milter. Then I fire up sendmail, and I get that error.
