Interesting. I never noticed before that the default amavisd setup is
to NOT use clamd as a primary antivirus scanner (but antivir is).
Mine sees antivir as primary and clamscan as secondary. So the
problem for the OP is he only has clamav installed and no primary (by
default). I assume he could correct the socket path and uncomment the
section for clamd to allow it to work as a primary scanner. Best I
assume would be to install a primary scanner from the offering in
amavisd.conf, and leave clamscan as a secondary.

My reason for clamd as primary and clamscan as secondary is, that the
daemonized version is faster, so the slower command line scanner should
only be used when the daemon is unavailable.

Actually, I also have antivir installed (in parallel to clamd as
primary). Both are looking for fresh signatures every hour.

Sandy, please, please, please walk me through getting a system like
this! Please

Thanks
