Did you follow the Exim-related advice in
/usr/share/doc/clamav-daemon/README.Debian.gz where it says you should
merge their user groups? :)

No, not yet. Thanks, I will look into it.

Now what's a bit strange. What does ls -al /var/spool/exim4/db say?

momo-chan:/home/bfrank# ls -al /var/spool/exim4/db

Should I change any of those permissions?

Thanks
