First off, qmail-scanner was never included in the toaster instructions. And it's still as "supported" as it ever was. Just skip the ripmime/simscan installation under the options section, and follow the qmail-scanner install instructions over at http://qmail-scanner.sf.net.
That being said, simscan offers 2 major improvements over qmail-scanner.
1. It can reject viruses or even spam at the smtp level, rather than quarantining them.
2. It can work on a per-domain basis, allowing for greater flexibility.
And, just to keep it fair. :) Simscan does not have some of the functionality that qmail-scanner does. It does not support a large number of virus scanners, it doesn't block emails based on headers, nor does it do any message formatting checks. However, it is significantly faster with much less overhead.
I use simscan myself.. I got tired of the performance hit qmail-scanner has, and the bouncebacks due to "poorly formatted mime attachments" ...
This is why I have started including installation instructions in the "Options" part of the 0.7x toaster version.
