Hello,

Just noticed after rebooting our mail gateway that we have this error in the logs. Any suggestion how to properly fix this without it breaking again when we do upgrade next time. I see some suggestions on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ClamAV#Error:_Clamd_was_NOT_notified

We are using Mail Gateway 6.3-5 latest version with all updates installed.

does this keep on showing up in the logs - or is it only shortly after the system starts ?
(if it's only after the system starts I guess clamav-daemon is not yet done starting, when freshclam tries to notify it)
