How can I check if clamav is actually scanning emails?
I tried to check it in the logs, but there is nothing there.
I also checked via the status of the clamav-daemon service, but there is no specific information there either.
Below is the log from systemd for clamav-daemon:

Is clamav really scans in-out e-mails? How to be sure?
