It's the other way around: amavis:*:110:clamav INSTALL: - some virus scanners run as daemons or change UID when checking files. It is easiest to run such virus scanners under the same UID/GID (or at least within the same group) as amavisd, to avoid file permission problems when virus scanner reads files prepared for checking by amavisd daemon. Some virus scanners may require write permission to the $TEMPBASE directory to be able to create auxiliary files there. If a different UID is preferred for an AV scanner, a solution for ClamAV is to add user clamav to the amavis group (e.g.: vscan:*:110:clamav in a file /etc/group), and then add: AllowSupplementaryGroups yes to clamd.conf.
