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.
Would that be advisable, and if so, do you know some
Linux software that could do it?
I'm using clamscan version 0.70 on Debian testing for
PowerPC.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
