The problem is caused by incorrect permissions on the directories /var/spool/exim4 /var/spool/exim4/scan
and incorrect apparmor settings, as described here: http://superuser.com/questions/344003/exim-clamav-file-access-error One way to solve this problem would be to modify the exim4 and clamav- daemon package installation scripts as follows: In the exim4 installation script: 1. Create the group exim-scan, if it doesn't already exist. 2. Change the group of the two directories listed above to exim-scan. (Leave the owner as it is, Debian-exim.) 3. Set the group execute bit (g+s) on the two directories listed above. In the clamav-daemon package installation script: 1. Create the group exim-scan, if it doesn't already exist. 2. Add the clamav user to the exim-scan group. 3. Add this line to /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.clamd: /var/spool/exim4/scan/** r, Make a similar change to other email virus scanners that can be integrated with exim, if any. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/708395 Title: clamdscan can't scan anything To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clamav/+bug/708395/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
