Wish it were that simple. I'm not running a mail server with windows clients. This is a dual booting stand alone machine and I never use windows for downloading mail. (In fact I use it as little as possible.)
Do the names Worm.bagle.AP, Worm.Somefool.P, SCO.A mean anything here?
Yes. I have copies of all three on my Linux system. I also do not use Windows for mail. You don't have to run windows to end up with your email address being used by someone else who does have Windows and who gets infected with a Worm which then tries to propagate to you.
Erm, I'm not clear what you are trying to tell me here. Are you saying that it's not really a problem if it's not a windows mail program that's infected?
As I mentioned, klamav claims to be able to quarantine messages containing viruses and worms but the component klammail doesn't seem to exist on my system - ideas, anyone?
Amavis or Amavis-new. There should be packages available in RPM format. Integrating those with Postfix is a little more difficult but not overly much. However, you can use Amavis without doing the integration and simply let Amavis quarantine the viruses for you.
I'll look into this - thanks. Integrating with Postfix is not a problem as I don't run it. But will it scan mails in Mozilla or Evolution? Something that will seems to be my only chance of eradicating the problem without actually having to trash my entire mailbox.
