If you look at the headers of the emails you receive you'll see
something like:
X-Virus-Scanned: ClamAV 0.88.5/2086/Mon Oct 23 10:41:23 2006 on
missy.yellowline.com
X-Virus-Status: Clean
When a virus is found in an incoming message what happens depends
upon how you have it configured. However, there's no message
attached to outgoing emails saying that the emails have been checked
by ClamAV. Why should there be?
