Hi Javier or anyone else.
I still can't get clamd running even after your helpful suggestions.
freshclam works
clamscan works
[root ~]# clamdscan
ERROR: Clamd is not configured properly.
[root ~]# service clamd start
clamd: unrecognized service

Nothing. clamav.log doesn't exist. Message and mail are silent.

All help greatly received. I haven't felt so frustrated since I first
installed Red Hat 7.0.
