Huh? I'm sorry, but I do expect you to understand how Qmail works before
using Qmail-Scanner! That is an EXAMPLE of how you can use it.

As it says:

/etc/tcpserver/smtp.rules
#
# No Qmail-Scanner at all for mail from 127.0.0.1
127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",RBLSMTPD="",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue"

See? "No Qmail-Scanner at all for mail from 127.0.0.1". If you do want Email
sent via SMTP from 127.0.0.1 to be scanned, then don't use that line, or
alter the QMAILQUEUE entry appropriately.

You don't say what "a dialup PC" is. i.e. what IP address it is. From the
tcpserver rules you sent, it would appear that only Email from 127.0.0.1 has
Qmail-Scanner disabled - so I'd assume that means your dialup PC *is* being
scanned, as I'd assume it isn't on the 127 network.  How do you know it
isn't being scanned?  When you send a message from the PC, check your
syslog/maillogs and qmail-queue.log to see what happens.

Remember, if you have "--log-details" enabled, then there should be a log
entry for each message processed - like:

Jul 23 09:25:32 host qmail-scanner[21692]: Clear: 0.128712 4369

Do you see those entries for incoming and not for outgoing?
