[ZendTo] Re: clamdscan selinux httpd error

That's usually caused by not adding the line to SELinux that allows 
clamd to read all the files under /var/zendto.

But SELinux is a bit of a mystery to me :-) so don't ask me how you tell 
it to do that! In Ubuntu it's easy, and in my docs, but on RedHat it's a 
different matter altogether!
