Check you have correctly run chown and chmod, it may also mean that clamav-milter hasn't started, run ps and check your logs." and also: "You may also think about the F= entry in sendmail.mc, since it tells sendmail what to do with emails if clamav-milter is not running. Setting F=T will tell the remote end to resend later (temporary failure), setting F=R will reject the email (permanent failure) and setting F= will pass the email through as though clamav-milter were not installed, in this case you should warn your users that emails are not being scanned. We recommend setting F=T." I no instances should sendmail have stopped, so you may have other problems. - -- René Berber -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (Cygwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFE27nOL3NNweKTRgwRAiMWAKD6XchRre0lG9/4LKQYMWkeNMiSzgCfSre9 3vS1TzT5/Q9QB1deE2BbxUY= =u9fG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
