Your system should now be capable of receiving messages. You should also be able to connect to
your server using a mail client such as Thunderbird or Evolution. This is a good time to test mail
delivery, even if you??™re planning to follow the directions in the next section to enable virus and
spam filters later. More information about configuring a mail client to connect to your server can
be found in the section ???Configuring Mail Clients??? later in this chapter.

Running a Mail Server 25
Installing ClamAV and SpamAssassin
Installing and configuring the virus and spam filtering mechanisms is more involved than installing
Exim and Courier, but should still go smoothly as long as you follow the steps carefully. Keep in
mind, however, that this will add a lot of complexity to the system, so it is a good idea to make
sure the Exim mail server is working first so that you don??™t have as many things to check if the
system doesn??™t work as expected.
The version of ClamAV included with Debian starting with version 3.1 (aka ???Sarge???) uses
an older virus-scanning engine. Because the updated engine is not likely to make it into
an update any time soon because of the Debian upgrade policies, a group of Debian developers has
created special sets of the ClamAV packages that are designed for easy installation on Sarge.
