Tom,
Your premise is not impossible, however:
1) QMT does not self-update -- it must be done manually (this is a
best-practice for servers in general)
2) The way you got simscan installed to begin with was by building the
RPM Eric pointed you to from source. This has traditionally been the way
to distribute and use QMail because of some odd licensing that the
original coder insisted upon. Those licensing restrictions are gone, but
the common practice of distributing source (vs. binary) remains.
3) When you built the source, you actually built an RPM file, which
was then installed to place the binaries (and config files) in the
appropriate places
So, going back to the RPM file you built during your last install/update
is the most direct route to replacing the simscan executable.
As to how it could disappear, I would look in your log file for drive
errors, as well as schedule an FSCK as soon as possible. The simscan
executable is stored in a root-protected area of the filesystem. Thus,
any disappearance has to have been root-controlled. (Do you access your
system as root a lot?)
Good Luck!

OK. I was expecting some process was rebuilding it and crashed,
leaving the executable missing.
I was looking for a more permanent solution then reinstalling.

I couldn't tell what you meant exactly.
The simplest way to recover it is probably to reinstall the rpm,
which should be in the /usr/src/qtp-upgrade/old-rpms/ directory,
provided you've been using qtp-newmodel to upgrade. Make sure you
use the latest one there, which should match the one that's installed.
# rpm -Uvh --replacefiles
/usr/src/qtp-upgrade/old-rpms/simscan-toaster....
(use the appropriate file)
You should probably do this with qmail stopped, then start it
after installing simscan, just to be on the safe side.

No seriously Eric, simscan the executable is not in the
directory anymore.
Can it be rebuilt? Does it get rebuilt periodically?
Thanks

Simscan is invoked by way of the
QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/__simscan" variable in the
/etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp file. If the incoming connection
matches an
entry in this file which does not have this variable set,
simscan
will not be invoked.
Remember to run "service qmail cdb" after making changes
to this file.
