I simply don't want to have things like sendmail/qmail/fetchmail/... running on my box.
without an MTA, even your system cannot send you mail, which may be your problem. On my system at work, antivir DOES send you (root, and you if you are an alias, i.e. the sys admin) an email saying it found a virus, but how will it ever reach you without an MTA like sendmail or postfix running?
I have a very simple use case: kmail as my mail client for use with my ISP's mail server. I really can't be bothered with all the intricacies of x different daemons.
I know these Windows virusses won't affect my Linux/KMail box but I still want to be alerted whenever someone (inadvertently) sends me a virus infected file.
I use antivir to check incoming mails thanks to the "pipe" option in KMail's filters. This works fine and dumps all the infected mails in a dedicated "!VIRUS!" folder.
However, I'ld like to add some additional information to the infected mails, in much the same way as spamassassin does.
For example: Subject is FOUND VIRUS IN MAIL from <address> The message has been quarantined as: /var/spool/vscan/virusmails/virus-20030906-150704-14767 Here is the output of the scanner: AntiVir / Linux Version 2.0.8-8 Copyright (C) 1994-2003 by H+BEDV Datentechnik GmbH.
