Thanks for the suggestions. I've written a /usr/local/etc/clamav-milter.conf, which seems to be parsed ok, and am now starting clamav-milter with no parameters. I get the error
ERROR: Failed to initiate streaming/fdpassing and the sender is being sent a tempfail. Where should I be looking to fix this? Do I need to be running clamd as well, and should this be using a separate socket to that used for sendmail??
