I would imagine that if Clamav-milter is to learn anything about the messages it has to have them handed off to it from Sendmail. That makes Sendmail the talker at this point. Conversely, if Sendmail is to learn anything the milter has concluded about the message it has to listen to what the milter says. At this point Clamav-milter is the talker. That sounds to me like everything that uses the socket needs to read and write to it. On my systems Sendmail runs as user smmsp, not clamav. I'd bet you have a similar situation. dp _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
