You shouldn't need to modify the provided systemd service file. this looks like the issue. doing the rpm -qf /usr/lib/systemd/system/clamd@.service gave no owner?? So I tried a reinstall and it informed me the package clamav-server-systemd-0.99.2-1.el7.noarch was not installed - no idea where the systemd service file came from.

Re: [CentOS] clamd@amavisd fails under systemd
CentOS 7 and my experience with clamav 99.2 from epel repository: instead of --nofork you need --foreground=yes nofork parameter is definitly outdated.

[CentOS] clamd@amavisd fails under systemd
Trying to set up a mail server under CentOS7 - having done this with CentOS5 and CentOS6 over the last decade with no issues and reliable service, it was time to upgrade (?) to CentOS7. Shouldn't be a problem, right? Getting to grips with systemd has been challenging - to say the least. So a brief overview of what I am trying to set up: postfix / amavisd-new / spamassassin / clamav so we can receive mail and deal with the major rubbish that gets thrown at any open port 25 smtp service. no problems installing each of the above and their configuration files. Just as an aside, there are many recipes for this combo of packages - none of which work as advertised. There was a time when one could safely follow a how-to guide and have things working - I have regularly used the CentOS wiki guides - however they have become stale and what worked fine for 5 & 6 DO NOT WORK for CentOS7 - mainly due to systemd and firewalld So we have: systemctl status postfix.service ● postfix.service - Postfix Mail Transport Agent Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/postfix.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Wed 2016-10-26 18:13:25 EDT; 1 weeks 5 days ago Main PID: 2762 (master) CGroup: /system.slice/postfix.service ├─ 2762 /usr/libexec/postfix/master -w ├─ 2782 qmgr -l -t unix -u └─25274 pickup -l -t unix -u systemctl status spamassassin.service ● spamassassin.service - Spamassassin daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/spamassassin.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Tue 2016-11-08 05:18:04 EST; 50min ago Process: 27412 ExecStart=/usr/bin/spamd --pidfile /var/run/spamd.pid $SPAMDOPTIONS (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 27410 ExecStartPre=/sbin/portrelease spamd (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 27417 (/usr/bin/spamd ) CGroup: /system.slice/spamassassin.service ├─27417 /usr/bin/spamd --pidfile /var/run/spamd.pid -d -c -m5 -H ├─27418 spamd child └─27419 spamd child systemctl status amavisd.service ● amavisd.service - Amavisd-new is an interface between MTA and content checkers.

I can run the clamd service manually just fine and everything works - i.e. /usr/sbin/clamd -c /etc/clamd.d/amavisd.conf –nofork=yes returns a functioning service - thus my config files must be okay but try it with systemd and you hit a brick wall - nothing in any logs to give me a clue why it comes up and then closes down After many days of google chasing, I have found a number of folk hitting the same issue, yet none of these have posted anything resembling a solution, most have had other issues that were in error. If there is anyone that has this combo of services working under CentOS7 and can shed any insight on why I cannot get this service to actually run, it would be very much appreciated.
