Yep. I have triple checked that

# Run the multiplexor and filters as this user, not root.  RECOMMENDED
MX_USER=defang

[root at b090lx44 ~]# ls -la /var/spool/MIMEDefang/
total 12
drwx------  2 defang root    140 2008-09-10 11:20 .
drwxr-xr-x 17 root   root   4096 2008-09-09 13:48 ..
srwxrwxrwx  1 defang defang    0 2008-09-10 11:20 clamd.sock
-rw-r-----  1 defang defang    6 2008-09-10 11:20 mimedefang-multiplexor.pid
srw-------  1 defang defang    0 2008-09-10 11:20 mimedefang-multiplexor.sock
-rw-r-----  1 defang defang    6 2008-09-10 11:20 mimedefang.pid
srwxr-x---  1 defang defang    0 2008-09-10 11:20 mimedefang.sock
[root at b090lx44 ~]# 

Also /etc/group has:

clamav:x:501:clamav,defang
defang:x:502:

to keep clamav happy.
