one last question then...in your /etc/clamd.conf   are you also pointing
it to /var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock ? or are you using TCP
localhost:3310 ?

seems as though, when I 'service clamav-milter stop' it kills the .sock
and clamd is effectively killed as well and must be restarted before I
can start clamav-milter again. This is really clumsy
