I've been following this thread about clamdscan vs clamscan. I don't run a 
mailserver, however there are times I need to save an email message and scan 
it to see if its possibly a new type of virus. Of course running clamscan 
against this file does take an extremely long time, when trying to use 
clamdscan however I get the following:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ clamdscan phish1.txt
/home/chris/phish1.txt: Access denied. ERROR

----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Infected files: 0
Time: 0.036 sec (0 m 0 s)

I can't figure out why I keep getting this Access denied error. Anyone with 
any ideas?
