Re: clamav@scan is stopped and can not be started

I might be mistaken, but I think that process is called by amavisd when it is required, not meant to be running all the time.
ZhangHuangbin should be able to confirm.

by the way, it's better if you fill in all the details about your iRedMail version, operating system, backend and related logs so we can troubleshoot, without this it's generally like finding a needle in a haystack we don't have access to

iRedMail uses clamd@amavis, not the @scan one. Don’t bother trying it.

Re: clamav@scan is stopped and can not be started

I want to know what does it do exactly. Althoght It is considered for scanning of files or directories, I can scan when it is stopped.
