Hi Alexander and thx for the reply,

my line is right in sendmail.mc
I looked thru that article you stated above and yes, it is good info
but, I am not sure but I think my problem is clamav -0.83-1 specific. my
reasoning is that it's lacking the file clmilter.sock anywhere on my
system....and that fedora news article calls for etc/sysconfig/clamav-
milter conf which is also not there...it's like I have no clamav-milter
on this system

thx
jr
