First off, let me apologise to Rob. That email was never supposed to go to you directly, but Outlook Express stupidity sent it to mimedefang-request instead of mimedefang and I guess it got bounced to you. > > check clamav.conf. > > the location of the pid file must be writable by the defang user as clamd is > running as dfang. > > also inclamav.conf. > > LocalSocket probably needs to be changed to point to where MD is expecting. > > Or you can leave it where it is and modify your mimedefnag-filter and stick > > $ClamdSock = "/var/run/clamav/clamd"; (this is the default place for clamd > on freebsd). > > in the top of mimedefang-filter.

As it turns out, I had everything right as far as the clamav.sock and clamav.pid files go, but even though I had set this correctly in mimedefang.pl.conf, mimedefang.pl actually has a hard coded entry that overrides this and tries to access clamd.sock in /var/spool/MIMEDefang/clamd.sock. This is what was causing the grief and after changing this to /var/run/clamd.sock it now works like a bought one! The only hassle I have now is that spam gets sent to my maildrop mailbox, but it also still goes to the original recipient as well. I know this is a problem in my filter, but any tips as to where? All I have done is add the example given on the FAQ edited to reflect the correct maildrop to the existing filter_end part of mime-defang filter.
