This thread got me to try and get clamav working on my machine as well.
I changed settings in sendmail.mc, and in /etc/sysconfig/clamav-milter. Here is the socket line in in /etc/sysconfig/clamav-milter: 'local:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock '

And generating the sendmail.cf file after making changes to the sendmail.c, I get this in the sendmail.cf file: 'Xclamav, S=local:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock,F=,T=S:4m;R:4m'
I am not sure about your quotation: are the '' just in your mail or
inside your sendmail.cf? A common fault is to use wrong quotes inside
the sendmail.mc. A proper line here for clamav-milter looks like:
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clamav', `S=unix:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock,
F=T, T=S:4m;R:4m;E:4m')dnl
The quotation pairs are `'. The resulting Xclamav line in sendmail.cf is
then
Xclamav, S=unix:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock, F=T,
T=S:4m;R:4m;E:4m
You see, no quotes there.
But when I did 'service clamav-milter start', I kept getting this error:
Starting Clamav Milter Daemon: clamav-milter: socket-addr ( local:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock) doesn't agree with sendmail.cf [FAILED]

I don't get this. It looks to me that the path to the socket file is the same in both the files.
I then read this in a post on the clamav mailing list:
"
I had to modify this line in my /etc/rc.d/init.d/clamav-milter file:
CLAMAV_FLAGS=' --external -lo /var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock'
"
I tried this advice as well, but I still keep getting the same error.
You better don't edit the init script. /etc/sysconfig/clamav-milter
should be sourced and contains all runtime imformation for the ClamAV
milter process.

Oops. I put the quotes in there myself while I was composing the post. When I changed the sendmail.mc, I simple copied and pasted from your previous post.

Do I have to have 'unix:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock' (quotes ine - only for the post) in the socket line? Can't I just specify 'local:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock'?

Thanks,
Saurabh.
