Hi, and welcome.
First up: do not confuse spam and virus - they are not the same.
Sure a spam email “could” contain a virus (but you will need to download the executable - usually by following a link in the email (someone opens the email on their computer) so on your server you don’t do that do you?
Spam is just junk. It should be treated as such and promptly destroyed. The trick is getting your email filters to identify (learn, recognise) what is junk and what is not. That is done through Services -> SpamAssassin Configuration and a lot of work. Remember one user’s spam might be another user’s livelihood!
For that reason I prefer to leave it up to the user (client email) to apply spam filters and an Antivirus solution on their own computers.

yes i agree with you
in the past in my “old” server i always use default setting for spam and i get a razonable success, but i dont know if in virtualmin default settings to identify spam or i need to config something
also, i check maildir structure, and i 5 of 6 cases, .junk folder does´nt exist and in the 6 case i see to folders, .Junk and .Junkbox. could you explain me this behavior?
just to check Edit Users for the odd user. Edit User -> Email Settings -> Check email for spam at the moment I can’t remember where to set the destination name (might be in Usermin where I’m less familiar).
