I used to run Kaspersky when it was available under FreeBSD. Because
their daemons runs exclusively under the user kluser, I resolved to have
my full amavis+clamav run under that same user.

You can try to manually send a file to Kaspersky daemon, from the user
amavis and from the user kluser and confirm which one works.

It worked well until it did not, I never managed to run it with the
Linux compatibility on FreeBSD so I dropped Kaspersky (plus their
customer service in Thailand was a headache).

But I still have amavis and clamav running under user kluser...

Hope that helps,

No, because the FreeBSD thing :) If I am going to pay for a piece of
software, it can, at least, run on what OS I want and not the contrary.
