Persevere with this. It works great.
Make sure that exim's spool files are group-readable. This is the
default so you're probably OK.
Make sure the clam users is also in exim's group in your /etc/group
file. *And* make sure you set:
AllowSupplementaryGroups
in /etc/clamd.conf. This *isn't* the default and has to be there
for clamd to pick up it's in exim's group. After this, clamd should
have access to exim's spool files and the daemon interface should
work.
