Setting up virus filtering for Ximian Evolution


According to the KlamAV gui it is possible to use klammail to filter incomming and outgoing email for Ximian Evolution by quote:

Mail scanning support is provided by a program called 'klammail'. This was
installed automatically as part of the KlamAV installation. to use this
program to scan your email as you send and recieve it you need to set up a
'filter' in Ximian Evolution to 'pipe' mail through klammmail as it is
comming in/going out. You should then set up a filter after this one to put
any mail with the word 'virus-found' in the hearder in to the quarantine
folder of your choice- The mail will be clearly marked as infected and will
tell you the name of the virus and who the mail is from.


does anyone know how this is actually done

Looks like klammail can be used in procmail recipes as a filter for incoming email similar to Clamassassin. If you need a procmail recipe for that you can check the Clamassassin documentation, or better, use Clamassassin for filtering.
Don't know about filtering outgoing email. If it's similar to the "add a bogus legal footer" stuff you'll have to rebuild Sendmail, Milter and whatnot.
