<pre wrap="">That means you have more then one installation (of whatever is
"Exiting!") and the old version is the one writing that complaint
(long,
long ago, clamd used /tmp/clamd as default name for the socket, of
course you could still use it with newer versions but since you showed
your configuration is different...)

<pre wrap="">hmmm I think I have only installed clamav once. This is a new server
that I have built and I don't think I have it installed twice.
</pre>
</blockquote>
<pre wrap="">Sorry for the double answer, but I don't think clamav is the one doing
the complaining, it is something else (that's why I said *whatever* is
"Exiting!") which should be clear with the complete log line.
Whatever is complaining is the one that expects /tmp/clamd as a socket
name. Do you have clamdwatch or similar?
</pre>
</blockquote>
<pre wrap="">I don't think I have clamdwatch - I checked the logs and the full lines
were
LOCAL: Removing stale socket file /tmp/clamd.socket
LOCAL: Unix socket file /tmp/clamd.socket
I'm wondering if it was becuase in the virus.scanners.conf i had the lines
clamav /usr/lib/MailScanner/clamav-wrapper /usr/local
clamd /bin/false /usr/local
clamavmodule /bin/false /tmp
I have now changed them to
clamav /usr/lib/MailScanner/clamav-wrapper /usr
clamd /bin/false /usr
clamavmodule /bin/false /usr
so hopefully this will fix the problem.
Thank you very much for your help with this.
Kate

Yeah that was were I found it. The original document I followed wasn't
