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.
Actually, when installing from ports, this apparently is set by default
(hurray for the port maintainer). However, even after adding clamav to
the mail group, it still would not function properly. I then added it
to the mailnull group, and viola, it's working. How odd:
drwxr-x--- 2 mailnull mail 512 Jul 29 08:01 scan
The temporary directories under scan/ are created with the same
permissions, user, and group. The temp files inside the temp directory
are set with mode 666/mailnull/mail.
Very curious, but at this point, I don't care, the problem is solved.
Now, let's see how freshclam is working. I had to give up on this when
I first built my mail server, as freshclam would refuse to update for
weeks at a time.
Thanks for the replies, both on and off the list.
