Clamd is up and running, hence the clamd.exim entries.  My concern is that it 
isn't being called for all suitable messages, i.e. not the ones I'm 
submitting.

I am testing with eicar and they are getting delivered.  I am doing this 
using:

[gary@ollie2 ~]$ echo test|mutt [email protected] -a eicar.txt -s "EICAR 
TEST"

On top of this live virus emails are getting through.

The avescanner needed the run file /var/run/aveserver. I could not find 
anything like that file on my server. However, I did manage to convert an old 
sophie script to work with Kaspersky. 

That is why I thought I'd try that. However, because of the error mesage from 
EXIM, the script isn't getting working.
