Any help you can offer is appreciated.

So now I am running ClamAV on the same box as Exim. The logs files and
definitions are owned by clamav who is also running clamd. it starts up
fine and I continue to get this error:

2004-03-03 11:10:45 1AyYvt-0005Fg-Dp H=213-240-195-204.ddns.cablebg.net
[213.240.195.204] F=<chris_is_the_stuff@???> rejected after DATA:
This message contains a virus: ( Can't access the file ERROR) please scan
your system.

Any ideas?

This is the output of my startup in clamd.log
