Okay, it's not absolutely safe, but for home mail accounts... I'll test it a while and if it doesn't recognize anything wrong for some time, I think I'll start autodeleting those mails. With the account I'm posting from, it's 198 MB of Gibe.F Mails since Monday, 20 MB alone in the 7 hours of sleep last night, presenting a "your Mailbox is full" notice by my email provider. By the way, having "Worm.Gibe.F FOUND" and "X-Virus-Found: yes" pasted in the mail header by clamav should be a safe shot for deletable mails at least for me. The only reason to autodelete mails in a private mailbox would be masses of those mails anyway, so a new worm on the loose should be worth a filter entry. But on the other hand, maybe, I 'll just push them into a folder and mark them read...
