Hi, pherpas my problem is equal at problem descript in thread with subject 
"amavisd-new + clamAV", also on my mail server Same here I have:

I use maia-1.0.2 with amavisd-new and in clamd.conf and freshclam.conf I 
have enable parameter:

AllowSupplementaryGroups yes

..in amavisd.conf I have:

@av_scanners = (

### http://www.clamav.net/
####['ClamAV-clamd',
####   \&ask_daemon, ["CONTSCAN {}\n", "/var/run/clamav/clamd.sock"],
####   qr/\bOK$/, qr/\bFOUND$/,
####   qr/^.*?: (?!Infected Archive)(.*) FOUND$/ ],

);

# See https://secure.renaissoft.com/maia/wiki/VirusScannerConfig
# for more virus scanner definitions.
@av_scanners_backup = (

### http://www.clamav.net/   - backs up clamd or Mail::ClamAV
['ClamAV-clamscan', 'clamscan',
    "--stdout --disable-summary -r --tempdir=$TEMPBASE {}", [0], [1],
    qr/^.*?: (?!Infected Archive)(.*) FOUND$/ ],

);

..therefore I don't use av_scanners (with clamd) but only av_scanners_backup 
with clamscan and:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ps -ax|grep clam

/usr/share/doc/procps-3.2.7/FAQ

26603 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/local/bin/freshclam -d

--tempdir=/var/amavisd/tmp 
/var/amavisd/tmp/amavis-20070705T103642-26517/parts

..now for resolve my problem (and for to use use clamdscan instead) I must 
enable primary av_scanner ?
Thanks.
