Jeremy,
I tried installing qmai-scanner and had some difficulty with the setuid
root issues. qmail-scanner was wanting a new kernel built, which I can't
easily do as it's a remote server. I switched to amavis and think that's
a better solution. It's easy to install and essentially works by
'slipping' into the process of qmail operation. Plus, you don't need to
patch qmail for the queue as well. I don't understand all the internals
of qmail, I've been using it for about a month so I can't arque which
way is one is better. Also, keep in mind that amavis/qmail-scanner are
NOT virus scanners, but are essentially 'wrappers' to run a regular
virus scanner like NAI, Sophos, etc. I use AMaVis with Sophos and have
been happy with the performance.
