That's the joy of (ab)using a virus scanner for junk mail filtering. > Even so, if I > disagreed with their definition of junk I should be able to tell it so. You can. But as it's a virus scanner, you'll have to use the procedure for false positive virus detections, which are not very well adapted to handling false positive junk mail detection. Specifically, you can: - - report the false positive to the signature creator and wait for a corrected signature - - whitelist the file that's wrongly reported as infected by its MD5 sum - - set the signature on your local ignore list (local.ign) (See http://www.clamav.net/doc/latest/signatures.pdf ch. 3.8 for the latter two.) But probably the easiest solution for your would be to just stop using the Sanesecurity signatures. > My mail is not in > /home/anne/.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/.1687036093.directory/.INBOX.directory/Newsletters > > but in ~/Maildir. > > ls: cannot access > /home/anne/.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/.1687036093.directory/.INBOX.directory/Newsletters: > > No such file or directory That looks like a temporary working directory of KMail. Perhaps you should exclude .kde/share/apps/kmail/imap from ClamAV scans. Most mail applications do not take it kindly when virus scanners operate on their innards.
