What are the permissions on /var/spool/virtual/thediscshop.com.au/abc ? clamd user needs read access to it.

srwxrwxrwx    1 clamav   clamav          0 Dec  2 11:01 clamd
-rw-r-----    1 root     root          707 Dec  2 11:01 clamd.log
-rw-rw----    1 clamav   clamav          5 Dec  2 11:01 clamd.pid


On my system the log file is owned by the clamd user. Don't know why yours isn't. Are you running logrotate against the log file? If so you'll need to tell logrotate to chown the log file to clamav.


okay i've managed to get clamdscan to work now, looks like it was the clamd.log permissions. Well atleast regarding that Access denied: Error above.

Before, when the access denied was still occuring i could not send or receive any email. Which is good for not getting viruses but is in now way a solution for obvious reasons.

I am now able to send and receive emails with the clamd running linked into exim.conf, but it looks like it's not preventing viruses from coming through still.

I've added the following to exim.conf

av_scanner = clamd:/var/run/clamav/clamd
# primary_hostname =

.
.
.

check_message:
deny message = This message contains malformed MIME ($demime_reason)
demime = *
condition = ${if >{$demime_errorlevel}{2}{1}{0}}
deny message = This message contains a virus or other harmful content ($malware_name)
demime = *
malware = *
deny message = This message contains an attachment of a type which we do not accept (.$found_extension)
demime = bat:com:pif:prf:scr:vbs
warn message = X-Antivirus-Scanner: Clean mail though you should still use an Antivirus
 accept

Not sure what else I'm meant to include
