AntiVirus in Maildir

[Masakazu Hirose]

Thank you to everyone.

First, try to find antivirus software that can remove files with
doveadm. I will share it on this list when I find it.

as an alternative. Consider a script that runs the doveadm import and
doveadm rebuild commands from the antivirus action log.



Thanks,
Masa
