Everyone,
I am putting together a new CentOS 7 mail server for our organization and am having some difficulty getting clamav to work with the clamav- milter for sendmail.
I have set /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf to use clamscan as the user as well as root as the user and the status command of systemctl results in the same error messages :
● clamd@scan.service - Generic clamav scanner daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/clamd@scan.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: start-limit) since Thu 2016-09-29 17:53:11 CDT; 1min 38s ago Process: 1891 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/clamd -c /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf -- foreground=yes (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 1891 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

I have tried running : /usr/sbin/clamd -c /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf --foreground=yes
with the foreground set to yes and no and with the user set in scan.conf as clamscan or root and it works fine.
I have not been able to figure out what is happening with the command :
systemctl start clamd@scan
The same error messages occur at boot with this command as well as on the command line.
Do any of you have suggestions.
Thanks much,
Greg Ennis
