Cannot find Socket (/var/run/clamd.scan/clamd.sock) Exiting!

[Macheta, Andy]

Thanks Mark (and Tracy),

My 'Run As Group' was set to 'postfix' and this was not a member of 'virusgroup'.
I changed this from 'postfix' to 'virusgroup' and restarted MailScanner and it looks like it fixed things as I'm now getting mail flow to the inbox and extended mail headers show that it's being spam checked and
virus checked 😉

Thank you!!!!
Best,

Andy

What is your setting for `Run As Group`? Is that group a member of
`virusgroup`?
