Hi all,
I just upgraded my clamav (freebsd, ports) and again, it changed the permissions on some of it's directories and caused it to not start as user 'mailnull' (the same user that sendmail and mimedefang run as). I would rather let clamd run as the user it wants to (clamav user) and configure mimedefang/sendmail to allow this but my efforts did not work.
If clamd runs as clamav, it cannot access the mimedefang spool files to scan the mail.
If I change permission on the spool directories, sendmail complains that "local socket" is unsafe.
I did add clamav to the 'mailnull' group (I assume editing the /etc/group file is sufficient).
So, I *think* the problem is how to convince sendmail that a group readable/writable mimedefang spool directory is kosher. Anyone know the answer to this?
TIA,
