Richard,

Are you using inbuilt clam supplied with Smarter mail?

Recently clam has changed virus database file extensions which resulting clam refuse to scan emails pushed from smartermail.

You might need to update clam to the latest version by taking backup of existing clam directory.

Also, it would be good if you can paste clamd.conf file.

Unable to run Clam virus checks: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:3310
at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.DoConnect(EndPoint endPointSnapshot, SocketAddress socketAddress)
at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Connect(EndPoint remoteEP)
at SmarterTools.SmarterMail.MailStore.Spam1.ClamDClient.CheckScan()

I and a few others have tried in vain to open this port… so that is not an option… its a windows 2003 box.
