I just finished trying to upgrade ports on this FreeBSD system, and am getting an unusual error in the logs for Amavisd-new.

Clam Antivirus-clamd: Error reading from /var/run/clamav/clamd: Resource temporarily unavailable at (eval 53) line 253, <GEN8> line 1., retrying (2)


Any ideas?  Help?


Appears to be the usual problem with file permissions.
See if this link provides insight and a possible solution:

BTW, I have found that even after my Debian system is set up correctly and I have restarted the clamd and amavisd-new daemons, I still get an access denied error that only seems to solve itself with a reboot.


Thanks for the address. I checked what you had written up, and the only thing in the update that I didn't have was the group membership for clamav in vscan. I never had it before, don't know why it would suddenly matter now, but I added clamav to that group and shut down then relaunched postfix/clamav/amavis and it appears to work, since only test virus 27 slipped through in my authorized test from http://www.webmail.us/testvirus.

Don't know what did it exactly, will need to keep an eye on it, but THANK YOU for the advice!! Seems to be working again!

Now if I can just figure out the second error about mime tools in amavisd... :-(
