Posted on the Centos list originally. I believe this is a bug in the
amavis package and maybe the clamav package.

So this is one bug for epel, as the rpm creates the directories with the
wrong permissions. Either do it right, or leave to the installer. So I
just changed all the amavis directories to 750 and restarted both
amavisd and clamd and it worked this time! I thought I did the restart
back before the rebuild, but maybe I didn't or I had other things
configured wrong. So this IS a bug in the packaging for me to submit to
epel.

That was my initial read, but as my frustration was rising, it looked
like a way to troubleshoot the problem. So now I don't have to try this.

I had hopes that the 'official' packaging would work well, particularly
now that both are on the same release. I really wanted to do this all
'official' packages. I know there is nothing wrong with rpmforge, I use
it for a number of things, just this time around for mail, I was
shooting for 'fully supported cruft'. Shows how good that approach takes!

Well I have and will post this there as well and submit the bug report.
I have two on these packages so far. I started here as I did not know
where best to take it (for example an amavis or clamav list?) but more
becuase I was hoping that there would be Centos users that have worked
with these packages and might be kind enough to share their insights.
And thank you for your help.
