The problem here is that clamav opens/creates the log at
clamd/clamd.c:144, but only drops priviledges to the user specified by
the User directive at clamd/clamd.c:235

It would perhaps be better if this priviledge drop happened earlier,
before opening the logfile.  I have never noticed this behavior, as the
set up scripts and log rotate scripts I use always touch the logfile and
give it appropriate permissions.

Since the milter never complained about log file permissions until
recently, I guess no one else noticed it either.
