this shows normal
where does this error mail come from?
Thanks Walter

Hello,
I found your hint several time ago, this didn't solve it ...
I don't understand this
- killall -HUP clamd.<SERVICE> 2>/dev/null || : + killall -HUP clamd.<SERVICE> > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
in the patch
as the file has this pkill -SIGHUP -f clamd.clamsmtp >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
in comparison /etc/logrotate.d/clamav has this
killall -HUP clamd >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

Sorry, I have no other suggestions - logrotate will only 'error' in that way if the postrotate commands return something other than zero - and in the examples you've given, it will always return 0 ...
