Bug#310633: exim4-daemon-heavy: av_scanner permission error with clamav

[tom morgan]

Package: exim4-daemon-heavy
Version: 4.50-4
Severity: important

i apologize if this is tied to the wrong package.  it's hard to tell if 
it is an exim4 bug or a clamav bug.  based on the solution given below, 
i selected this one.

after enabling the av_scanner directive in exim4, using clamav, we
started receiving the following error:

2005-05-24 06:25:20 1DaYTI-0007JY-Ku malware acl condition: clamd: ClamAV returned /var/spool/exim4/scan/1DaYTI-0007JY-Ku: Access denied. ERROR

the above error results in _all_ mail being temporarily rejected.

the solution is to add the user  clamav  to the group  Debian-exim .  as 
such, i am suggesting that clamav be added to group Debian-exim as part 
of the exim4 install/configuration.
