Hi again,

I sorted this out, and yes it was stupidity! I just hadn't told sendmail to
use the mimedefang filter...

Anyway, I have now had to disable the clamd feature temporarilty as I cannot
get it to work.

I have tried running clamd as user "defang", but clamd won't then start.

I have added the user "defang" to the group "clamav", but I get errors when
sending/receiving mail saying "Could not connect to clamd daemon at
/var/spool/MIMEDefang/clamd.sock".

This file does not exist either.

I've looked at a few things on Google, but I'm a little lost as to what I'm
even doing wrong at this point in time.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Pete
