NAME

       claws-mail-clamd-plugin -- ClamAV plugin for Claws Mail

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the claws-mail-clamd-plugin

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       claws-mail-clamd-plugin is a plugin (loadable module) for the Claws Mail mailer.

       This plugin allows scanning of mails using the Clam AntiVirus.

       Due  license  restrictions  no clamav library is used and it is required that the ClamAV daemon (clamd) is running on some computer, either
       localhost or a remote one. Mails to be scanned and scanning results will be sent to and received from this daemon using a socket.

       This also imposes additional requirements for your home folder and Claws Mail resource folder (~/.claws-mail): global executable permission
       must be given to these folders.

USAGE

       Before using a plugin you must instruct Claws Mail to load it on startup.

       For  this you must go ``Configuration'' menu on main window toolbar, open ``Plugins...'' dialog, click on the ``Load plugin...'' button and
       select the plugin file, named clamd.so, and press the ``Open'' button.

WARNINGS

       Giving global executable permissions to your home and ~/.claws-mail folders allows other users of the machine to browse these folders' con-
       tent. This may not be what you want.

SEE ALSO

       chmod (1), claws-mail (1), claws-mail-extra-plugins (1), libarchive-formats (5).
