I'm running CommuniGatePro. It can store mail two ways - MBOX (one big file)and MailDir (each msg in a seperate file). The default, unfortunately, is MBOX. I'm going to create a new MailDir-style folder and copy all the mail to it, that should help me in the short term. Need to see what it would take to convert everyone over to MailDir - damn, that's going to use lots of inodes....

What configuration are you running? (e.g. qmail+vpopmail + courierimap)

In the setup that I am running each message is stored as a seperate file
within the mail box setup.

I have the following directory structure
/home/vpopmail/domains/sampledomain.com/username/Maildir/cur
/home/vpopmail/domains/sampledomain.com/username/Maildir/new
/home/vpopmail/domains/sampledomain.com/username/Maildir/tmp

Within the new directory is a list of the emails.
-rw-------    1 vpopmail vchkpw       4863 Apr  8 16:01 1081465307.22178.mail.sample
domain.com,S=4798
-rw-------    1 vpopmail vchkpw       5088 Apr  8 16:04 1081465462.22278.mail.sample
domain.com,S=5023

So for the configuration that I am running it does work. If you let me
know about yours, there may be a easy way also, or maybe not.

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.

*sigh*

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.
