the circumstances arose where mail folders are kept
from a pre-clamav time, or there was an issue with the clamav setup at
the time, or clamav was not scanning incoming mail but was scanning
files, etc. can happen. happened to me. from looking at the mailing
list and the faq, it does happen.
I have to say that while I commend your sharing of a concept/idea, it
does appear that it's not very viable.
As for the situation, we've been using ClamAV for going on 3 years now,
and I have never (I repeat never) seen this occur.
Outside of a poor configuration/implementation that is.
true enough. best it to catch it inline. but if not then what. that
is what i wanted to help.
If you're looking for redundancy a simple .procmailrc rule via trashscan
or what ever would be more effective I'd think.
This would verify that messages are clean "before" it gets delivered to
the recipients mailbox. (This is what it appears you're trying to address)
, man. if pawing thru old mboxes is not your bag, then delete the
message and move on. it may be helpful to someone else....
True enough, however, it's best not to need to go "pawing" through old
mboxes in the first place ;)
