/var/log is the directoy into amavis writes its logfile (actually it's
/var/log/scanmails). That's not related to qmails logfile.

Yes, please do so. Well, AMaViS 0.2.1 comes with checkaccount, which
checks if there's an alias for virusalert in /etc/aliases, but I'm not
sure if qmail uses this file (I don't think so). Well, just checked on my
laptop, simply create /var/qmail/aliases/.qmail-virusalert :)

Well, what do you mean by "break"? You have to shut down qmail, I'm
afraid, do the steps mentioned above and restart qmail. Or do I miss your
point here?
