[ZendTo] Zend.to error during drop-off

Edit your /etc/passwd file to set the shell for your Apache user to 
/bin/bash.
Then "pwconv" so the change takes effect.
Then try this
     su - apache (or whatever user your Apache is running as)
     clamdscan /var/zendto/*
     clamdscan --fdpass /var/zendto/*
     exit
What happened? Did the virus scans both complete successfully?

If not, and you're running CentOS/RedHat 7, try this and then give the 
above another try:
     groupmems --group virusgroup --add apache
     systemctl restart httpd

I added that extra groupmems command to the Installer a day or two ago 
when I discovered that RedHat/CentOS had changed their group membership 
rules in an update.

Any improvement?

Cheers,
Jules.

P.S. Otherwise, if you can give me remote ssh access I can login myself 
and take a look for you. I would be interested to see what it is, if 
it's not any of the above.
