Please can you explain me, what do you mean with
"connect to the daemon from a shell"
But I think, that will be working, because mail sent and transmit
after booting works too.
The error message in /var/log/exim4/paniclog only appears after
system start, when the first mails should be fetched by fetchmail.
The appropriate messages in /var/log/exim4/mainlog are:

2007-05-26 13:34:30 1HruXV-0001pP-QY malware acl condition: clamd: unable to connect to UNIX socket /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl (No such file or directory)

The rejected mails will be received at the next trial.
And after this, it seems to be worked correct.

Please can you give me instructions, how can I give you these information.
Must I shutdown exim4, fetchmail, spam assassin and clamd services and restart
these manually with strace command?
