Well, this really doesnt belong on vpopmail list, but I'm going to answer
your question anyways.

You need to install a command line virus scan utility prior to installing
qmail-scanner.  Otherwise there is no reason to use this.  I recommend
sophos (http://www.sophos.com) and getting sophie which is the frontend to
sophos that is qmail-scanner compatible.  You can download sophie from
http://www.vanja.com/tools/sophie/

Steps...

1. stop qmail
2. backup your control files.
3. patch qmail-1.03 with qmail-queue.patch
4. reinstall qmail-1.03
5. copy your control files back over.
6. install sophos
7. install sophie
8. install qmail-scanner
9. edit supervise script (and sendit.sh for sqwebmail if used).
10. start qmail.

add this to your supervise scripts and sendit.sh.

QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl"
export QMAILUEUE

Now, everything will pass through the scanner first, then it will be fed
into the queue on return.

Good Luck
Dallas
