I do use clamav for occasional file scanning, but the primary reason for
this install to to scan incoming email. I have a procmail recipe which
uses clamd to scan and filter mail. I have freshclam running via cron and
I also use the sane-security 3rd party signatures.

I am at work at the moment I and I can no longer SSH into my F17 box (the
BOFH sysadmin here has blocked all "non-essential" inbound and outboud
ports - but I am working on him to get my access back!) so I can't check,
but I think I have installed all the required packages with the possible
exception of clamav-scanner-systemd. When I get home I will check that
out. I think that may be the cause of my problem.

Thanks! I will report back...
