Oops. I put the quotes in there myself while I was composing the post. 
When I changed the sendmail.mc, I simple copied and pasted from your 
previous post.

Do I have to have 'unix:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock' (quotes ine 
- only for the post) in the socket line? Can't I just specify 
'local:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock'?

Thanks,
Saurabh.
