First problem: You are using two different socket names. Second problem: Check the clamav-milter startup script... it shouldn't hang, put a -x (at the end of the first line, i.e. #!/bin/sh -x) if necessary to see what's it doing? Check the parameters --sendmail-cf and local:/var/run/clamav/... should be the interesting ones. -- René Berber _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
