The rpm created the subdirs under this of quarantine, tmp, and db also owned by amavis:amavis with permissions 700. I had to create var myself for spamassassin to use. The permissions problem is under /var/spool/amavis/tmp if you look at the maillog entry. I have altered all permissions to 750 and still have the problem; the directory created is with 700, and perhaps that is why the problem? I am thinking to change the clamd conf files to run with user amavis instead of clam and see if that gets around the problem... I have joined the epel-devel list (I did not find an epel-users list) and posted this there yesterday. I see that epel repo is the same version currently available from rpmforge that the howto uses. Interestingly, rpmforge uses userid clamav and epel uses userid clam. Don't know what other differences there are. So far no replies on the epel list.
