Clamscan is a lot slower. The problems with clamd and clamdscan are 
caused by either or both of
1) SELinux/AppArmor not allowing clamd to read the directory. The notes 
on installing ZendTo on an existing CentOS/RedHat/Ubuntu system will 
tell you what you need to set.
2) Permissions in /var/zendto. The clamd daemon must be able to read all 
the directories and files in /var/zendto/incoming. It doesn't run as 
root, it runs as a user defined in /etc/clamd.conf. *That* user must be 
able to read everything.

Running clamdscan from the command line is a very quick way of debugging 
this.

If you don't have a "real" SSL certificate for your AD server, then it 
will complain that the certificate checking is failing. Read the man 
page for "ldap.conf" and you will find options to set the amount of 
certificate checking it does.

If you come up with a short neat solution, please let me know so I can 
add it to the website.

Thanks,
Jules.
