Martin - I'm confused. I was trying to answer Rick's question. Looks
like we pressed "send" fairly well at the same time. My setup is working
just fine :)

Seeing as you ask, I suspect clamd is running as root. I installed it
from Jules' SA+Clam then added a start stop script into /etc/rc.
Possibly not the most secure, but as I have no local users to exploit
it, I don't much care. MailScanner runs as Postfix.
