Greetings;

Currently it spits out a one line message to the logfile when it has 
found something, and when procmail see's the NZ return, the incoming 
mail is placed in a holding file. But it contains zero information that 
would give a clue as to where the infected mail came from.

To do that, I have to periodically mv /var/spool/mail/virii 
to /var/spool/mail/me, let my MUA import it as a normal mail, then wait 
for the daily clamdscan of my home directory, at which point I get a 
paragraph or 2 of location/nix-epoch-dated+some hash number listed as 
infected with such-and-such.

And still no clue as to who sent me the crap.

Well, it turns out that the last time I did that, yesterday morning, I 
had 8 examples of the same phishing scheme. 3 from my bank, 4 from aarp, 
and 1 from a supplier I had bought something from online.  And all of 
them at least 3 weeks old. 2 of them were time sensitive messages 
regarding the issuance of a new, chipped debit card, which when it 
arrived, resulted in my being completely unaware it was coming.

Now, I can put a tail on /var/log/clamav/clamav.log and at least get a 
notice (if I read the log, but its content is 99% noise and I have to 
check it every 3 minutes or it may scroll off screen, never to be seen 
again without grepping for 'FOUND'.

So this is a feature request:

When clamdscan is used to filter an incoming email, it will find the 
From: or Reply To: lines, possibly before it finds a reason to cause 
that mail to be dumped.

So, how much trouble would it be to clear a buffer for each of those 2 
header lines, with a Reply-To: taking precedence, and if something is 
found, output the  last From: or Reply-to: information at the same time 
it logs the FOUND msg?

That would at least connect the dots as to who sent it without having to 
go thru a lengthy search of near meaningless filenames in the 26 
gigabyte corpus of my now 15 year collection of emails, reading each of 
the matching numbers with mc's F3 function to actually find out who sent 
it.

I can probably write a script that would sound the alarm over the audio 
when FOUND is grepped for, but that still doesn't "connect the dots".

Any chance of that happening? Or am I missing an option in the command 
that would cause it to do it now?  The man pages aren't very promising 
in that regard.
