I've found a simple fix - put the following in your mimedefang-filter: $ClamdSock = "/var/run/clamav/clamd"; I'm now happily running clamd as the default user clamav without issue. No more ownership or upgrade issues. Maybe we could ask that this becomes the default location for future use, or a search list is used (try the default clamd location first, then the MD custom location second)? -- Rob _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
