Yes, but the issue we have with qmail-scanner is that our e-mail system moves 
around 1.2M messages a day (~40,000 mailboxes) and under that kind of load, 
qmail-scanner rolls tits-up and dies because it has all the overhead of Perl 
starting up and loading extensions.  qsheff is written in C and 
self-contained binary compiled with -Os is about 25KB.  It incorporates 
direct access to CLAMAV through its library and so supports clamd.

The last working version of qsheff is 2.1-r1 and I have the archive if anyone 
is interested in taking it under their wing. 

Don't really mean to hijack the list, I see qsheff as the 2nd step to an 
existing spamdyke solution for e-mail.  Ideally if someone took it on, it 
could be made to complement spamdyke even better.

Note to anyone thinking of trying it: do not use 2.1-r2 or you will lose mail.  
The last working version is 2.1-r1.  You have been warned. :)
