I've just set up Clamav on my (personal) email server to filter emails for
me.  I'm using a procmail setup with clamd, and I'm seeing the same
behavior with the scripts on the Wiki, on Spamassassin's site, and using
Clamassassin.

What I have seen is this: 'phish' emails are getting _reported_ as viri,
but emails with actual viri attached (or the test file) are getting
_cleaned_ and _not_ reported.

I'm not particularly interested in virus removal: any attachments will be
scanned on my desktop computer before I open them, and I might want to
take a look at a virus someone's emailed me with a decompiler.  The
purpose of running Clamav on my mail server is curiosity: I want to know
how many viri I am receiving.

What I'd like to see is the 'phish' behavior for the attached viri. 
(Well, I'd also rather it didn't actually catch 'phish', but I see that's
an option scheduled for 0.90.)  Is there a way to configure clamd to _not_
clean emails?

It only seems to do this with emails fed in from standard input too: I've
run it manually using the same options on one of my sent test messages
(pulled directly from the Maildir folder) and it just reports then.
