If I use the --remove flag, it removes the whole mailbox file, not just the infected message. Glad I tested on a copy of an infected mailbox and not the real thing! :)

I'm looking at the other solutions proposed, but they're going to take more work, obviously......and I don't think that it'll be something that I can run automatically every night on all the mail folders.

If you want to scan all mailboxes the following command is what I use to
do a manual scan. This example is for qmail with vpopmail.

clamscan -r /home/vpopmail/domains --mbox -i --remove

If you want to scan an individual domain use

clamscan -r /home/vpopmail/domains/sampledomain.com --mbox -i --remove

Or if you want to scan an individual account use

clamscan -r /home/vpopmail/domains/sampledomain.com/username --mbox -i
--remove

You must use clamscan because it will not timeout which the clamdscan
will.
