Hi Ron

As Alexander Dalloz already mentioned not needing the "define"
statement, I'd like mention also:
file:///usr/share/doc/clamav-milter-*/RPM-clamav-milter.txt states the
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER line should be:

INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clamav-milter',
`S=local:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock, F=,T=S:4m;R:4m;E:10m')
                                                            ^^^^^
Notice the extra bit at the end that wasn't in your line.

A couple other bits of feedback:

* There's no mention of setting the daemons to start on boot. i.e. a
line such as:
  - /sbin/chkconfig --level 345 clamd/clamav-milter/freshclam on

* Also, to keep to general best practices, the line where you start the
services should use /sbin/service instead of calling the script
directly.

Apart from that, it's a nice, simple-to-follow guide to get ClamAV up
and running.

Regards,
-Matt
