I've decided to explore clamav-milter. The objective is to have a single server where all clamAV process run. Think of it as a virtual AV appliance (Because that is what it is).

The lab environment is a mail server (Solaris 9, Sparc) running sendmail and another server (Solaris 10, X86) that runs clamd and the milter used to extract the attachments and submit them to ClamAV. I have substituted clamav-milter for this function by adding clmilter to sendmail.cf on the mail server. I built and have a running copy of milter-clamav and tried the following command line to start it:

/usr/local/sbin/clamav-milter --external --server=127.0.0.1 \
  --quiet --blacklist=60 --postmaster-only --local \
  -outgoing inet:3311

The mail server can connect to port 3311 on the AV server fine but the following error shows up in the clamav log:

Jan 16 12:39:11 omak clamav-milter[13345]: [ID 472601 local6.warning] Access Denied for sparky[192.168.1.55]

The av server is omak, and the mail server is sparky.

I'm missing something, obviously. Perhaps this is not a valid architecture?
