... Persevere with this. It works great. Make sure that exim's spool files are group-readable. This is the default so you're probably OK. Make sure the clam users is also in exim's group in your /etc/group file. *And* make sure you set: AllowSupplementaryGroups in /etc/clamd.conf. This *isn't* the default and has to be there for clamd to pick up it's in exim's group. After this, clamd should have access to exim's spool files and the daemon interface should work. -- Dennis Davis, BUCS, University of Bath, Bath, BA2 7AY, UK [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: +44 1225 386101 -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
