Thanks, this is a new install of OS and Sendmail\Clam so there is no clamav-milter file in/etc/sysconfig

One last ( I hope) thing:

All mail is refused:

Milter (clamav): error connecting to filter: Connection refused by /var/clamav/clmilter.socket Milter (clamav): to error state
Milter: initialization failed, temp failing commands

Permissions on the directory:

drwxr-xr-x 2 clamav clamav 4096 Apr 28 06:35 clamav

(These are the same as the old server, which is running without issue, albeit an older version)

What else could cause this?

Rich

Also, look for clamav-milter in /etc/sysconfig, if using any Fedora or RedHat release. Clamav-Milter no longer accepts command line arguments and all parameters should be passed in the NEW clamav-milter.conf file located in /etc

If you have the file 'clamav-milter' in /etc/sysconfig, either rename/remove or comment out the CLAMAV_FLAGS part of the configuration file!!! And please EDIT the new /etc/clamav-milter.conf file to properly setup clamav-milter.
