Clamd problem

my setup with Pfix (not using socket!)

clamd.conf
# Path to a local socket file the daemon will listen on.
# Default: disabled (must be specified by a user)
# LocalSocket /tmp/clamd.socket

# Remove stale socket after unclean shutdown.
# Default: yes
#FixStaleSocket yes

# TCP port address.
# Default: no
TCPSocket 3310

# TCP address.
# By default we bind to INADDR_ANY, probably not wise.
# Enable the following to provide some degree of protection
# from the outside world.
# Default: no
TCPAddr 127.0.0.1

relevant part in MailScanner.conf

Clamd Port = 3310
Clamd Socket = /tmp/clamd
Clamd Lock File = # /var/lock/subsys/clamd
Clamd Use Threads = yes

All of my training says that if I put postfix (which is the chown user) and www-data (which is the chown group) in to clamav then it should be able to access everything that those two can access or am I missing something here? I am including my clamd.conf file below. I really don't want to use 0755 for my permissions as when I googled I saw in one post, unless I really have to.

I have put the postfix and www-data users in to the clamav group (both of which have owner permissions) and still clamd gets an permissions error everytime I run it. I have the permissions set to 0640. I am in need of help. oops put the other one with the wrong subject My bad.
