[HLUG] clamav virus protection - is it working?

[alabaster]

I recently installed clamav after reading about it in LFX mag. in the
hope that it will scan my mail for viruses. I can do a scan of my home
page with eg

clamscan -r -l scan.txt /home/gordon

and I even found a virus in a deleted spam mail message, so something is
working.

I have modified both clamd.conf and freshclam.conf along the lines in
the LFX article to create specific log files.

I did a manual database update and then started freshclam -d to update
it regularly. I expected to see this as a service "freshclam" but could
not see it?

I also started clamd and can see this as a service.

I read the documentation and there was a lot I just did not understand
but I think I got the main bits. The rest seemed to be other options and
features possibly related to running servers!

My problem is that I am not sure if clamav is going to scan my incoming
(or outgoing) emails. How can I check?
