Hi Ron,
Thanks for your hint.
Ran
# adduser clamav amavis
adding the user clamav to the group amavis
then problem gone but another problem surfaces;
# /etc/init.d/postfix check
# tail /var/log/mail.log

postfix still can't send/receive mails.
"... connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]: Connection refused (port 10024)
.." Why port 10024 comes into play?
Any advice. TIA
