I think clamav was installed on the server, but I
don't think the server is configured properly to use
it yet.
The hosting service told me to create one of two files
in my home directory, either .viruskill to delete
virus-infected mail, or .virusflag to mark the subject
line.
Just to see how it worked, I created a .virusflag file
and nothing happened. Today I replaced it with
.viruskill and watched my spool file with ls -s, and
still it has been growing at about ten kilobytes per
second, so I don't think clamav is actually working on
the system yet.
Fortunately the host has a really big /var filesystem,
so it should be a few days yet before my spool file
runs the machine out of space.
I'm getting many copies of just four or five spams,
judging by the subject lines, such as "don't worry, be
happy!!".
I own the domain goingware.com, and the host is
configured to deliver mail to addressed to any
username at goingware.com to my individual mail spool.
The viruses seem to be addressed to all the
permutations of the alphabet in the username, with the
domain always being goingware.com. Perhaps this was
meant to deliver the virus all to different people,
instead my personal email is being DOSed by this
virus.
