You didn't post your original configuration, so I don't know what your original problem was. If you're using a Unix socket and having a Debian specific problem, it's probably a matter of the socket not being available in the chroot that postfix, on Debian, uses by default. Assuming this was your original problem, there are three ways to solve it: 1. Make the socket available in the chroot (/var/spool/postfix/). 2. Take postfix out of the chroot. 3. Using TCP sockets instead. I use the Debian clamav packages every day. I also maintain them for the distro. If you are having problems, I encourage you to file bugs in the Debian BTS. I do look at them and try to solve them. Scott K
