Why not? A 'QMAILQUEUE' set to 'qmail-scanner' will invoke it.

This can be done by a '127.:allow,QMAILQUEUE=".../qmail-queue",...' rule in .cdb file. That way all messages from localhost are not inspected by qmail-scanner. But what's your problem with this? > We also don't check anything coming from our local LAN for spam > (only for viruses) and check everything else for both. So the mentioned solution would be the "as less to configure as possible" one. Set 'qmail-scanner' for all connections and define exceptions (localhost, LAN) separately. What's your problem with this? > You can't do that with the method above. You can. And before you try to argue qmail-scanner will not scan for anything when only RELAYCLIENT is set by a .cdb file rule: it WILL parse the message through virus scanner! Set 'RELAYCLIENT' only prevents qmail-scanner from passing message through spamassassin! Please inspect qmail-scanner sources if you don't trus me. -- Best regards Peter Palmreuther File not found, I'll load something *I* think is interesting.
