hi list,
i installed clamav, did what the documentation prescribed in
/etc/exim4 etc. etc. and all seems well: freshclam updates as it
should be, so it seems to me; without any experience with the
working of this av-program.
so: what am i to expect? up till now i see absolutely nothing in
my emails. should i see a message p.e as 'all is well with this
email' or just nothing, as it is now, till a virus in one of my
(many) incoming emails is discovered?
i should appreciate if someone with more experience in the
workings of this scanner could inform me of 'what to expect'.
i am running debian_etch on thid hd and receive and send my emails
with seamonkey; my mta is (standard) exim4; my kernel
2.6.17-2.k7.
thanks on advance,
regards,
steef
If you look at the headers of the emails you receive you'll see
something like:
X-Virus-Scanned: ClamAV 0.88.5/2086/Mon Oct 23 10:41:23 2006 on
missy.yellowline.com
X-Virus-Status: Clean
When a virus is found in an incoming message what happens depends
upon how you have it configured. However, there's no message
attached to outgoing emails saying that the emails have been checked
by ClamAV. Why should there be?
