[Mimedefang] Fwd: Re: clamav vs clamd vs clamscan

[Cliff Hayes]

restarted clamd; same error

permissions for each directory up to and including /var/spool/MIMEDefang:

drwxr-xr-x.  22 root   root    4096 Oct  7 14:55 var
drwxr-xr-x. 14 root root 4096 Oct  7 12:49 spool
drwxr-x---   3 defang defang  4096 Oct 13 16:23 MIMEDefang

I tried 755 on MIMEDefang and still got same error:

drwxr-xr-x   3 defang defang  4096 Oct 13 16:23 MIMEDefang

selinux is not running at this time
and I have the following option set:

MD_ALLOW_GROUP_ACCESS=yes
