E-mail AV scanning with Ubuntu/Evolution

I have just set up my Evolution e-mail client to scan all incoming e-mails with the ClamAV virus package.

I don't really need this to protect my system, but it should be handy to see in the "Spam" I receive if there is a virus.

The instructions are at: http://www.togaware.com/linux/survivor/Viruses.shtml

Set the virus Filter rule at the top of your Filter list, so any other Filters you have are still run after the virus scan.

It worked ok with EICAR test attachments!

BTW, I'm using the latest Ubuntu 5.10 "Breezy" release
