Thanks. Found it while looking for something else, and it turned out to be the answer to the next question I would have asked :-)

Couple of points though:

  • the “no-summary” and “stdout” parameters need to be prefixed with — not - (two minuses not one)
  • VSCANNER is not defined in the else clause
  • if processing speed is important install clamav-daemon and use “clamdscan” in place of “clamscan”
  • the quote characters you’ve used are incorrect so you can’t just cut and paste the text, you have to edit the quotes in by hand
  • it can go in /etc/maildroprc (with suitable modification to the mailbox used) for system-wide scanning if you want.
