[gentoo-user] Thunderbird, clamscan, mbox-maildir

[PaulNM]

Hi all,

	Recently I've been messing around with clamscan on my system and 
checking all my files.  Anyway, clamscan found some things in my 
thunderbird files.

Thunderbird currently uses mbox format for storing emails.  The clamscan 
info I've read says it stops at the first positive hit in an mbox file. 
  The only way to find which email, and all the emails, is by converting 
(a copy) to maildir format. Then I can scan that, then delete the 
offending email from the mbox file from within thunderbird.

So far I've found mb2md (http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/mb2md/)
which returns:
paul@Robotech ~/mboxwork $ ./mb2md-3.20.pl -s Inbox
Fatal: Source is not an mbox file or a directory!

Using less verifies that it is the actual mailbox. I've tried renaming 
to Inbox.mbx, even making a copy of the entire tree and working inside 
that.  I still get the same message.

Any ideas?
	,
	 PaulNM

Try this. 

#formail < evilmailbox -s thescript.sh > nicemailbox

#!/bin/bash
TEMP=`mktemp`
cat > $TEMP
clamscan --quiet --unzip --mbox $TEMP 
if [ $? == 0 ]; then
  cat $TEMP
fi
rm $TEMP

Then DIff the file :-)
