That's the gentoo doc.  Don't worry!

basement robert # ls -ld /var/clam/milter/050204/
drwxrwx---  2 clamav clamav 4096 Feb  4 22:50 /var/clam/milter/050204/

basement robert # ls -ld /var/clam
drwxrwxr-x  4 clamav clamav 4096 Sep 25 13:54 /var/clam

basement robert # ls -ld /var/clam/milter/
drwxrwxr-x  3 clamav clamav 4096 Feb  4 22:49 /var/clam/milter/

basement robert # ls -ld /var/clam/milter/050204/
drwxrwx---  2 clamav clamav 4096 Feb  4 22:50 /var/clam/milter/050204/

Still no luck.  Interestingly it works if I use /tmp/clam as such:

basement robert # ls -ld /tmp/clam
drwx------  3 clamav clamav 4096 Feb  4 22:44 /tmp/clam

Maybe its not saving to /var/clam/milter because it is 775??  Still doesn't 
explain why it doesn't save when it is 700.

clamav-milter won't start with /var/clam/milter as 755.  I changed it after 
starting the daemon.
