I suggest using the "clamdscan --fdpass" entry instead of mucking with
the system users/groups. This is now the upstream default, but hasn't
made it into a release yet:

  https://gitlab.com/amavis/amavis/-/blob/master/conf/amavisd.conf#L362

That's simpler, slightly more secure, and doesn't require you to
remember what user/group hacking you did if you move to another box.
