Attachments:	kmail_clamav.sh with X-Virus-Details ClamAV script called up by kmail filter

Description _ 2005-01-21 16:17:17 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.91)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.4.3 
OS:                Linux

I want to see some enhancements in the KMail virusscanning.
First of all I enhanced the script to include an X-Virus-Details header containing the virusname.
My wish create a virusscan-subheader like the spam thing (Spam Status: Spamassassin [graphic]), saying something like "Virus Satus: ClamAV: Infected, (X-Virus-Details header contents)".

The script probably needs some performance improvements, but it's quite fast
already.

Comment 3 _ 2005-01-22 17:34:17 UTC

For attachment #9204 [details]: the X-Virus-Details line should read
echo "X-Virus-Details: `echo "$clamoutput" | grep FOUND | sed -e 's/^[^:]*: //' -e 's/ FOUND.*$//'`"
instead - this removes the space before "FOUND".

Another idea would be to detect a possible clamassassin installation. But I agree it would be interesting (but not really useful) to have at least the name of the beast.

Well then you at least know that there is a virus detected. As both my spam and virus mails go into one folder I have to check the headers to find out whether the mail is a virus or not.

I think it is important to include the name of the Virus identified.  It is
possible that the signature is not selective enough and a clean email is
wrongly labelled.  For example I have seen some discussion of this nature
concerning the Email.Faketube virus.
In addition the virus database is updated and names can be changed.  I have
enabled manual checking.  The current script does not remove the old analysis
results.  I offer the following attachment.

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.

Comment 9 Luigi Toscano 2012-08-19 00:44:46 UTC

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
