"trashcan" is the name of a user's mail folder. It's usually named Trash (in Thunderbird or "Deleted Items" in Outlook), I usually create this folder by default when creating each user mailbox. But the recomended option for infected messages is to delete them. You don't configure clamav to work with procmail, unless you are using clamdscan wich used clamd, then you need to configure clamd. Procmail works by processing a set of rules, you already know that, the one for virus detection just sends all messages to a script, clamfilter.pl is one possible script, you can then put another rule to see if the message was infected (looking for the 'X-Virus-Found: yes' added by clamfilter.pl) and delete it, for example. > But I have to disagree about a system wide procmail.

I've never seen this, but it's probably there for handling mail lists. -- Ren� Berber _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
