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

[Cliff Hayes]

I did the following and it worked:

su -s /bin/bash clamav
cd /var/spool/MIMEDefang
cat mimedefang-multiplexor.pid

So clamav user is able to look at defang's directory but clamd still 
can't if mimedefang calls it to do a virus check.
