I think the problem is that you don't understand how qmail-scanner is
executed.
In order for qmail-scanner to run, the QMAILQUEUE environment variable
has to be set to the location of qmail-scanner-queue.pl, which is usually:
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl
Normally, this is done via tcpserver, and usually with this configuration file:
/etc/tcp.smtp
However, when you run the `sendmail` command from a shell script like
sendit.sh, you don't invoke tcpserver, and thus tcpserver never gets the chance
to set the QMAILQUEUE environment variable.
If you WANT to set the QMAILQUEUE environment variable so that the
QMAILQUEUE patch will run qmail-scanner before running qmail-queue, then you
generally have two options:
1.) Set QMAILQUEUE in qmail-smtpd's run script, which is usually located
here:
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run
This should assure that qmail-scanner is run for EVERY email sent
through qmail.
2.) Set QMAILQUEUE from sqwebmail's sendit.sh file, located here:
/usr/local/share/sqwebmail/sendit.sh
This will only run qmail-scanner for sqwebmail's outgoing mail.
Both of the above file are /bin/sh scripts, so placing the following at the
top of either file aught to work:
QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl"
export QMAILQUEUE
Hope that helps.
