    Did you uninstall clamav as I suggested and not just stopped it? I guess you get this errors just because clamav is found by amavis, so it tries to connect to it.

    Interesting, never thought it would affect it. I just ran :
    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove clamav-daemon and
    sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove clamav
    to uninstall ClamAV, let's see how it goes, thanks again Till.

    Actually just another quick question, should I have uninstalled with clamav-freshclam instead as per below ?
    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove clamav-freshclam
    Thanks

    hmm so after all said and done, I used this to clear out all the Clamav stuff
    Code:
    apt-get remove --purge clamav*
    But after that I restarted amavis and still got this in my mail-warn-log
    Code:

    I rescue this thread because I'm with Debian 9 in a short memory machine and I need to delete clamav although preserving amavis.

    I have followed these same steps I use for Debian 8, commenting and including the code in /etc/amavis/conf.d/15-av_scanners and /etc/amavis/conf.d/90-custom
    And later uninstalling clamav:
    apt-get remove clamav-daemon
    apt-get remove clamav-freshclam

    I reboot and all works well, except these two warnings inside /var/log/syslog:
    Code:
    host amavis-mc[1043]: Not starting amavis-mc - edit /etc/default/amavis-mc to enable it ... (warning).
    host amavisd-snmp-subagent[1052]: Not starting amavisd-snmp-subagent - edit /etc/default/amavisd-snmp-subagent to enable it ... (warning).
    inside those config files the values are 0 disabled. Not touched from the original ISPC install.

    Is there some new modification for Debian 9?

    thx,
