Hi John,

I have the same problem, though /var/run/clamd.amavisd/clamd.sock do
exists (please note .sock and not .socket).

Sep 09 08:19:37 minicloud2 amavis[9597]: (09597-02) (!)connect to /var/run/clamd.amavisd/clamd.sock failed, attempt #1: Can't connect to a UNIX socket /var/run/clamd.amavisd/clamd.sock: Connection refused

ll /var/run/clamd.amavisd/clamd.sock
srw-rw-rw-. 1 amavis amavis 0 Jun 22 06:05 /var/run/clamd.amavisd/clamd.sock

Nothing denied in SELinux logs.

Don’t really know what the problem is for now, and have not yet found a
way to fix it, sorry.
