    If your sendmail/qmail is already running thru amavis you will
    never see these viruses in Kmail (unless kmail is popping some other
    site other than your own machind) because the virused mail will
    already be detected and sequestered by amavis.

    If you want to pop other sites and scan them it would be
    better to use fetchmail and pass them all thru sendmail/qmail
    for virus and spam scanning rather than waiting to do it
    after they hit your kmail.

    If you are reading your mail with Kmail, why worry about
    viruses anyway? They won't hurt you.
