Sorry I don't know to whom this question is addressed. The problem I am
facing is that I want to install clamav and spamassassin with my postfix
installation.
The howto procedure said I had to install fam for this. Unfortunately I
had to roll back because fam cause the desinstallation of many desktop
applications.
Now I am running without clamav, etc. It is probably a coincidence, but
I just received a virus. So I do have an urgent need to install clamav,
spamassassin. If you can tell me the procedure to install clamav,
spamassassin with amavis-new and postfix and would be totally happy.
Whether it is with fam or gaim is not relevant form me. Since I have no
clue if both can be transparently switched, I didn't install anything.
The removal of my desktop applications was a bit traumatic and I would
prefer avoiding to experience it again.

Thank you very much for taking the time to consider my problem and
sending a mail about it.
