Hey all,

Well I booked little progress, I completely uninstalled ClamAV, cleared
the virus-database in /var/lib/clamav and installed clamav again. Config
file is exactly the same, freshclam can now notify clamd normally,
clamdtop works normally, but amavis still fails to connect to the
socket; connection is still refused, the socket, and the path to the
socket are work accessible however.

Thanks for any pointers in the right direction.
Oliver
