You are not familiar with Clamav. The "clamscan" client program which
examines files does not need any extra set-up. The Clamav library (e.g. as
required by Sylpheed-claws) does neither. The Clamav server/daemon
requires the admin to perform a few steps described in a README file, with
the necessary config file templates included. Nothing is worse than
shipping a server package which is preconfigured in a way that it is
considered a security risk.
