Does that mean you're changing where the milter socket is created, to
match the documentation? How radical if so! ;)

If you're doing that, could you write something into the update scripts
that will change the .m4 file back to clamav-milter, for people who
have, over the years, corrected that mistake? I know I'll have a lot of
machines to update with broken configurations if that socket gets
renamed without making sure the .m4 file points to the right place.

I'm a little amazed nobody has reported this before. Maybe I'm the only
one using it... ?
