I solved this problem with exim by adding clamav to a group that is able to read the mail files (mail in this case), but not write them, which is IMHO a better solution that using the same user. Is this possible for vscan and qscand too? If not, I agree that we need this. But I would prefer the group solution, since that is what users and groups are there for. -Oliver
