Quoting "Michael D. Crawford" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
In the last two days I have received five hundred megabytes of spam. I'm pretty sure it's mostly viruses.
I'd like to find a way to delete individual virus-infected messages from my mailbox, but the clamscan --mbox command stops scanning upon finding the first virus, and if I use the --remove option it deletes the entire mailbox rather than an individual message. Fortunately, I tested with a copy of my mailbox.
I read in the FAQ that you don't have an option to disinfect files, only to report on or delete them. I would think it wouldn't be too hard to disinfect a mailbox file though.
What I think would work would be to unpack my mailbox file into a directory of individual messages, one in each file, and use clamscan --mbox --remove on that directory, and then collect all the messages back into an individual mailbox file.
This is a good reason to use maildirs.
