Bug Description

Binary package hint: klamav

I have TMPDIR=/home/walt/tmp, and have noticed that TMPDIR contains lots of "klammail******" files that should have been deleted once scanning was complete. Please clean up the files you leave in TMPDIR.

$ lsb_release -rd

klammail will used clamav-daemon if it's installed and running. Please try
that and see if it works around the issue.
