Then we are very close to the point where I'll just have to turn
everything over to Google Apps. Because I am *never* going to
understand postfix configuration. This isn't even something that's
within a fuzzy or distant view, let alone just outside my grasp. It's
all complete magic to me.

At least within postfix, there is a very nice command to just fix the
permissions. (Did Wietse get tired of seeing that particular problem?)
I have no idea what they should be for clamd.ctl because, as near as I
can tell, it isn't a permanent file, so I can't even see it in the
emergency backup I did from a rescue system after the Arch upgrade
hosed my server (which is remote, by the way).

At this point, my first priority has to be just getting mail back up.
I've had a lot of these domains for a decade or more. I get a lot of
spam, hence the postscreen stuff, but I also get a lot of mail. Then,
maybe, I can think about reimplementing clamav.
