I take it back, it worked fine for the duration of my testing.  The
second I started passing real email through it all went to pot :(  I'm
back to the following:

/mdefang-i387jcjG039965:

I've tried putting explicit chmods in and various other things, none of
it seems to work.  I've tried disabling softupdates and that didn't
solve it either.  The first run always works, permissions are set as
expected.  After that I get 100% consistent results as above.  I even
got desparate enough to put a pair of explicit chmods in the
entity_contains_virus_clamd() function - no dice, though it worked with
2.41.

It looks like I'm going to have to either run clamav as the mailnull
user, something I was trying to avoid, or go back to clamav-milter -
something I was trying to avoid :(

Sadly at this point I'm horribly out of my depth.  My perl is barely
enough to allow me to understand what's already been written and I just
don't have the skill or time to read the entire source.  Which leaves me
back where I started - crying out for HELP (please)!


PLEASE - keep list traffic on the list.  Email sent directly to me may
be ignored utterly.
