Hi Alberto, It is very easy. Have a look at : http://lurker.clamav.net/message/20050618.021205.f1ab6d55.en.html This should tell you all you need to do in order to set up ClamAV to scan for viruses on incoming mails. Note: where the example says /bin/clamscan, you probably have to use /usr/bin/clamscan in ubuntu. If not sure where your clamscan binary is installed, try: whereis clamscan To your questions: * Evolution has got no builtin support for ClamAV, although ClamAV can be used with Evolution. * You do not ned to install any other software apart from ClamAV (not even the ClamTk frontend, which in my experience is much slower than the command line) Cheers. _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
