I've installed clamav but can't get it to scan the text inside an email
message. The message with the eicar string gets the header X-Virus-Scan:
but no warnings. Maybe it's not supposed to scan the message but only the
attachments? Can I change that?

Clamav finds and flags email with attachments containing eicar string but
doesn't find the string inside a message.


The string must be absolutely the first thing in the body of a message, no white space or other characters can precede it.

"Any anti-virus product that supports the eicar test file should detect it in any file providing that the
file STARTS with the following 68 characters, and is exactly 68 bytes long:"

"The only whitespace characters allowed [after it] are the space character, tab, LF, CR, CTRL-Z."
