[clamav-users] ClamAV documentation help needed

[SysAdmin@chemcut.net]

Unfortunately Google didn't turn up any useful information. 

"... the list archives are available to be downloaded as mbox format,..."
I didn't see how (or why) to  download the list archives as a mailbox file  -
perhaps the website documentation could be improved.

"...you'd consult the logs..."
That's what I thought.
But the directive default settings in the  clamd.conf   file are
  #Logfile  <disabled>
  #LogSyslog no
so there is no logging to look at;  nor is there any readily available samples
or explanations of what should be in the logs.

Thanks for answering the question.
At least now i know that is worthwhile to pursue that line of  inquiry.

The majority of people use a search engine like Google.

However, the list archives are available to be downloaded as mbox format,
which can be imported into a MUA of your choice, or fed into Lucene, OpenGrok,
Apple Spotlight, etc.

You'd consult the logs for your MTA or whatever is calling ClamAV, perhaps
amavisd-new, postfix-milter, etc...?
