Hello HowtoForge community I have a question for you guys. I was reading some of the maillog file to look for any errors or anything suspicious and I noticed that these three lines show up every one in a while in the maillog file, (I am running postfix/dovecot mail server on a centos 6.5 machine with clamav-0.98.4, spamassassin-3.3.1, and amavisd-new-2.9.1) Code: amavis[2601]: (02601-05) (!)run_av (ClamAV-clamd) FAILED - unexpected , output="/var/spool/amavisd/tmp/amavis-20140628T132203-02601-nBfopBxN/parts: lstat() failed: Permission denied.

Should I not worry about the error (almost sure I should)? (I followed this guide to setup amavisd, spam assassin, and clamav for postfix/dovecot http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Amavisd) Thank you in advanced for helping me!
Hi The errors can be ignored. Please check whether clamav (clamd) service is running, otherwise restart the service & then check again.
