Mail Servers

Filed Under Randomness 

If anyone is using amavis + clamav on their mail server could you drop me a line?  I’m getting an error that I can not figure out–it doesn’t make any sense.  It’s the only thing holding me back from finishing this mail server.

amavis[6116]: (06116-01) Clam Antivirus-clamd: Can’t connect to UNIX socket /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl: Permission denied, retrying (1)
amavis[6116]: (06116-01) Clam Antivirus-clamd: Can’t connect to UNIX socket /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl: Permission denied, retrying (2)
amavis[6116]: (06116-01) Clam Antivirus-clamd av-scanner FAILED: Too many retries to talk to /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl (Can’t connect to UNIX socket /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl: Permission denied) at (eval 42) line 180.

I’ve made sure the /var/lib/clamav/clamd.ctl is chown’d clamav:amavis.  I’ve added clamav to the amavis group (and visa versa for extra measure).  I don’t know why it wouldn’t have access to that file.  Any ideas?
