In my case the socket is located an /var/run/clamdclmilter.sock I have added the following to the init.d script in the start section: rm /var/run/clamd/clmilter.sock Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1./etc/init.d/clamav-milter restart 2.check by either e-mail or by ps -A | grep milter 3. Actual Results: The clamav plugin does not work and the e-mails are not checked. Sendmail runs anyway and delivers unchecked e-mails I had one virus entering my PC ( in this case a micisoft Xp ) but the local virus scanner picked it up There is no warning, one assumes to be save but is not! Expected Results: remove the old socket and start! Could the following also be added, maybe with a "#" to uncomment when needed: in init.d clamav-milter: need antivirus provide clamavmilter clamd: provide antivirus sendmail: need clamavmilter This makes shure that everything is started in order!
clamav-0.85.1 is stable with new confd/init scripts.
Again, 0.85.1-r1 is the one with sendmail stuff. I'll mark it stable sometimes tomorrow, I guess.
0.85.1-r1 stable on x86, this issue is fixed there.
