NEW! 2026 Solution:

Create this file: /etc/tmpfiles.d/clamd.scan.conf

Put this line in it:d /run/clamd.scan 0777 clamscan mtagroup

Run this command: systemd-tmpfiles --create --prefix=/run/clamd.scan

Restart clamd, mailscanner, and postfix just to get stuff flowing again.

The above should correct any issues when updating with DNF and the /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d file getting overwritten.

Done!


Every update ClamD / ClamAV? One of the files that gets updated is this one: /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/clamd.scan.conf, which contains this: d /run/clamd.scan 0710 clamscan virusgroup

And that don't work. This does: d /run/clamd.scan 0777 clamscan virusgroup

Experiments were done to find a better solution, but they were lost, and no time to re-create it. So every time ClamD gets upgraded, that needs to be done. You can try playing with the owners of the clamd.scan file too. Have a nice day. We didn't, until we figured out the issue.

Oh, and if you're searching for spamassassin, or spam or assassin or lint or --lint, because you don't remember it's ClamD causing the issue, then that's why this sentence is here.
