They must, of course, agree as to the name and dirtree, and both must
have the perms to use it.
I choose to start all of the 'support' deamons Exim will want BEFORE
firng-off the Exim daemon, and shut them down AFTER shutting-down the
exim daemon, so in my case it is always Clam (or more accurately its
root 'invoker') that both creates the socket, sets its perms, then
destroys it when being put to bed.
Any parameters or guidance are therefor in the Clam config.
All Exim needs is the 'where to meet' and membership in a group that
has the privs.
That group here happens to be "_postal", which is not a default, but
avoided collisions when porting across OS'en that might not use the same
defaults for what are effectively 'postal workers', armed or otherwise.
