Catching the viruses



Title: Catching the viruses

Hi,

I have my qmail working.
Clamav the antivirus is working in command line.
Amavis-ng is installed and configured as good as I could but not tested it yet because I don't know how it does work.

When I send an email with a virus to a user, the virus is not detected.

When I scan the email directory with clamav it is not detected.

The virus looks as junk letters in the email (I guess it's the ascii format of the binary virus file coded with mime).

So now I'd like at least to scan my maildir and find viruses, how can I do ? I have to convert the ascii attachement into binary, how ? which package should I do that with ?

I also want the mails to be scanned before they reach the mail boxes of the users but it's amavis role I think


Any help appreciated
