Change This Setting "Clamd Socket" in "mailscanner.conf"

From: Clamd Socket = /tmp/clamd
To: Clamd Socket = /tmp/clamd.socket

Then it will work i Think.

Bye.

Have you tried restarting clamd?

Code: Select all

service clamd restart

Are there any other log lines related to this error?

The clamd socket should actually just be /tmp/clamd, not /tmp/clamd.socket

Tanger, check that the socket setting is the same in /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf and the MailScanner configuration. If you set it to something other than /tmp/clamd which is the default with our cPanel MailScanner install, it's possible there may be problems when you upgrade clamav and/or MailScanner in the future.
