[Mimedefang] Error with mimedefang + clamd

[Info @ brainwash]

Hi Dianne,

Thank you for the swift reply.

Tried the commands you mention.. to no effect however.. :(

Still @ maillog:

mimedefang.pl[25993]: B8D39D49: Clamd returned error: lstat() failed: Permission denied.
mimedefang.pl[25993]: B8D39D49: Problem running virus scanner: code=999, category=swerr, action=tempfail
mimedefang.pl[25993]: B8D39D49: filter:  tempfail=1
mimedefang[26008]: B8D39D49: Tempfailing because filter instructed us to

... and @ clamav log:

-> WARNING: lstat() failed on: /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mdefang-UBuyV00/Work

As a reminder, clamav user is a member of the defang group and vice versa..

Try stopping MIMEDefang and running:

chgrp -R defang /var/spool/MIMEDefang
chmod 750 /var/spool/MIMEDefang
chmod g+s /var/spool/MIMEDefang

That will make /var/spool/MIMEDefang have group "defang" and set the SGID bit on the directory, meaning any directories or files created under /var/spool/MIMEDefang will also have group "defang"
(and recursively down the whole tree.)

Rgeards,

Dianne.
