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).
