I can imagine if you're using clamscan.

You have to configure clamd using clamd.conf and then start clamd. Clamd
can use a socket or an IP:port connection, that's up to you. Personally,
I find clamd.conf descriptive enough to be able to find out how to
configure it.
After starting clamd, you can use clamdscan instead of clamscan for
scanning (the file(s) in) your email.
