Check if user clamav also belongs to group clamav. Some older installations
suffer from this. See bug #94709.

[Comment 2 Joakim 2005-07-10 09:14:16 UTC]

Sorry, I was a bit in haste and panic as amavisd-new shooked my postfix server
due to this, so didn't look carefully enough at the results from my search. You
can make it as a dupe of 94709, all system go again here.

[Comment 3 Andrej Kacian (RETIRED) 2005-07-10 09:33:50 UTC]

No problem. I'm just a bit worried about this - I have absolutely no idea why
this happens.

Cheers.
