This thread got me to try and get clamav working on my machine as well.

I changed settings in sendmail.mc, and in /etc/sysconfig/clamav-milter. 
Here is the socket line in in /etc/sysconfig/clamav-milter:
'local:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock '

And generating the sendmail.cf file after making changes to the 
sendmail.c, I get this in the sendmail.cf file:
'Xclamav, S=local:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock,F=,T=S:4m;R:4m'

But when I did 'service clamav-milter start', I kept getting this error:

Starting Clamav Milter Daemon: clamav-milter: socket-addr ( 
local:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock) doesn't agree with sendmail.cf
                                                            [FAILED]

I don't get this. It looks to me that the path to the socket file is the 
same in both the files.

I then read this in a post on the clamav mailing list:

"
I had to modify this line in my /etc/rc.d/init.d/clamav-milter file:

CLAMAV_FLAGS=' --external -lo /var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock'
"

I tried this advice as well, but I still keep getting the same error.


Saurabh.
