After taking your advice I located the post in which you are referencing and attempted multiple of the solutions provided. Unfortunately though, none of the provided solutions seem to have resolved the issue.

In addition,I have found that using the fresh clam tool also results in the following SSL authentication error:

WARNING: Download failed (60) WARNING: Message: SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK

Due to the similar errors, I therefore no longer think it to be an isolated issue with python or the openssl library.

I did not mention in my previous email but the operating system this is running on is MacOS 11.6.4.

Any additional help would be much appreciated.

Sorry, a bit pressed just now.

Check my posts to this list for the last couple of days, there are a
few links in one of them. Please get back to us if they don't help.
