• if you finish, press enter until you see like this ..., and then press "Y" for send email

• for check the clamav : tail /var/log/mail.log, you can see "Virus detected", and the message will be deleted

• next step i will install roundcube 0.9 for webmail, but before install roundcube you must install lamp server : apt-get install lamp-server^

• change directory to /var/www/webmail : cd /var/www/webmail
• change the owner for logs and temp
• logs : chown -R www-data.www-data logs/
• temp : chown -R www-data.www-data temp/
• import roundcube database to mysql : mysql -u root -p roundcube < /var/www/webmail/SQL/mysql.initial.sql
