Hey rick,
I've CC'd the list, since we failed do to so previously.
I can't comment on Adam's setup since I don't run qmail, but I do know that this setup is not workable for me.
Adam suggests to configure the user's environment but that only works if you
have local mail delivery (in other words, if you run this on your mail
server).
I don't run clamavd on our mail server, but on our mail relay. It's a machine
in out DMZ that accepts all SMTP traffic and scans it. It all is ok, it
forwards it to our mail server on out internal network (it's a common setup).
Since there is absolutely no local mail delivery (it's easy to disable that in
postfix, don't know about qmail), Adam's setup doesn't do it for me.
I don't see a problem with clam, and since many people use it, I guess others
agree.
