claws-mail-clamd-plugin \(em ClamAV plugin for Claws Mail 
.SH "DESCRIPTION" 
.PP 
This manual page documents briefly the 
\fBclaws-mail-clamd-plugin\fR      
.PP 
This manual page was written for the \fBDebian\fP distribution 
because the original program does not have a manual page. 
 
.PP 
\fBclaws-mail-clamd-plugin\fR is a plugin (loadable module) for  
the Claws Mail mailer. 
 
.PP 
This plugin allows scanning of mails using the Clam AntiVirus. 
 
.PP 
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. 
 
.PP 
This also imposes additional requirements for your home folder 
and Claws Mail resource folder (\fB~/.claws-mail\fP): 
global executable permission must be given to these folders. 
 
.SH "USAGE" 
.PP 
Before using a plugin you must instruct Claws Mail to load 
it on startup. 
 
.PP 
For this you must go ``\fIConfiguration\fP'' menu on main  
window toolbar, open ``\fIPlugins...\fP'' dialog, click on 
the ``\fILoad plugin...\fP'' button and select the plugin file, 
named \fBclamd.so\fP, and press the  
``\fIOpen\fP'' button. 
 
.SH "WARNINGS" 
.PP 
Giving global executable permissions to your home and 
\fB~/.claws-mail\fP folders allows other users 
of the machine to browse these folders' content. This may not be 
what you want. 
 
.SH "SEE ALSO" 
.PP 
chmod (1), claws-mail (1), claws-mail-extra-plugins (1),  
libarchive-formats (5).
