Hi I'am reposting to myself. Yesterday i made a question of the subject, i felt really bad when someone respond me the answer was in the faq.
I felt with the responsability to build a solution without resorting to mailbox conversions. I developped a simple tool that using clamd, is able to do the job of directly removing just the infected emails in mbox files. I've been all this day building and testing, finally, i run the tool against a production server with 4500 mailboxes in 7 GB of email. Performance was great and there was no trouble. At this time, it's in my personal site it anyone is interested. http://hans.opensource.cl/cleanmbox.pl Due to the modifications realized by the program, please make a good backup before running. Basically it's a little perl script that mix the job of two libraries: the mbox parser Mail::Box::Manager, and the clamd access File::Scan::ClamAV.
