Thanks Eric,

I was getting confused with simscan and simcontrol.

All working now.

Thanks,

Matt

The tcp.smtp.new file isn't actually used for anything. It's what the
default would be if you didn't already have a tcp.smtp file (which you had
altered).

I don't know what you have that's referring to simcontrol. That's the name
of the config file for simscan in /var/qmail/control/, and doesn't really
need to be referenced anywhere, as the simscan program picks it up
automatically.

The tcp.smtp file should have QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan" as one of
the variables for the last/default entry (begins with : ), and any other
entry for which you want to scan messages. This is what causes the emails to
be passed to simscan from qmail-smtpd.

HTH.
