 Sorry, I followed the HowTo, but got all the rpms from epel.

 If you are, then that might be your problem.
 If you really followed the wiki instructions you must be using RF
 packages, so you could take it to the RF list.
 And if you're using epel, then you didn't follow the wiki instructions

 epel list.  Hmm.  Now to find that.

 Thanks for the direction.

 Read near the top of the amavis config file. It will reference the
 directories you are having trouble with. It tells you to create them and
 that they need to be owned by whatever you set the amavis user to be. It
 is all right there in the conf file.

Yes, I read that.


amavis from the epel repo defaults to /var/spool/amavisd which is owned 
by amavis:amavis with permissions 700.

The rpm created the subdirs under this of quarantine, tmp, and db also 
owned by amavis:amavis with permissions 700.  I had to create var myself 
for spamassassin to use.

The permissions problem is under /var/spool/amavis/tmp if you look at 
the maillog entry.  I have altered all permissions to 750 and still have 
the problem; the directory created is with 700, and perhaps that is why 
the problem?

I am thinking to change the clamd conf files to run with user amavis 
instead of clam and see if that gets around the problem...

I have joined the epel-devel list (I did not find an epel-users list) 
and posted this there yesterday.  I see that epel repo is the same 
version currently available from rpmforge that the howto uses. 
Interestingly, rpmforge uses userid clamav and epel uses userid clam.  
Don't know what other differences there are.  So far no replies on the 
epel list.

Permissions should be 750 as the clamav user is a member of the amavis 
group and needs group access.

 instead of clam and see if that gets around the problem...


That will likely cause other problems. The clamav user just needs to be 
a member of the amavis group.

As you have seen there are differences between the packages. This makes 
the CentOS documentation worthless to you as you are not using the same 
versions used in the documentation.

You should take this thread, and your issue, to the EPEL list as it 
really has nothing to do with CentOS.
