Hi,

Using standard Debian/Lenny system with Amavisd-new installed from packages.

||/ Name                             Version

and

||/ Name                             Version                          
Description

I take it that these errors...

...are to do with permissions.

Could someone confirm what permissions I'm supposed to set up on what?

I suppose I should open up permissions on /var/lib/amavis/tmp but don't 
want too much.  Maybe just adding the user clamav to the group amavis 
should be enough.

Actually, was adding clamav to group amavis somewhere in the docs?
