As a newbie to Linux, I read in the Evolution docs. that it handles viruses. Presently I am using my computer as a single workstation connecting to my ISP as needed, through dial-up, and am not using an MTA. Evolution is used to both send and receive mail directly.
I do have amavisd-new running, but since I am not using an MTA is my mail coming in unfiltered for viruses. If so, what would be the easiest way set up a virus filtering capability, as opposed to setting up my stand-alone, single user computer as a mailserver, thus using an MTA configured system.
this does not answer why you want to filter virii. i don't know anybody
running linux who cares about this at all. :-)
you can for example use clamav to filter.
after installing clamav, you can add a message filter in evolution
("edit | message filters").
under "If", choose "Pipe to Program", and add the path to clamav:
/usr/bin/clamscan --quiet -
(the "-" sign at the end of the field pipe to program is important.)
then add "return | 1".
under "Then", you can for example choose to move the infected mails to a
seperate folder. add a second action to the "Then" part, namely "Stop
Processing".
if you put that filter rule on the top of your filters, it should work.
