[afnog] Clamav failure

[Mike Barnard]

after a restarting of clamd and exim, its up and running. i hadnt
restarted exim after the changes i made in the clamav.conf file. i guess
that was still a problem in there. im hoping that this temporary fix will
work while i look for a solution. ill post the solution when i get it.
thanks
