Configuring qmail-scanner
Problem:
When examining "qmail-scanner-queue.pl", the command line that was used to configure it is shown, to help make it easier to reconfigure it later on. Unfortunately, the command line is bollocks. A long list of flaws in the script can make you bang your head for hours without getting anywhere except perhaps to the emergency room.
 
Solution:
Here's the config line we use at hermes.atc.no:

./configure \
--spooldir /var/spool/qmailscan \
--qmaildir /var/qmail \
--qmail-queue-binary /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue \
--admin root \
--notify "sender,admin" \
--debug 0 \
--unzip 0 \
--add-dscr-hdrs yes \
--archive 0 \
--redundant 0 \
--log-details syslog \
--fix-mime 1 \
--scanners "fast_spamassassin=[SPAM]" \
--install 1 \

Notice the spamassassin line, leave this out if you don't have spamassassin installed. We recommend it though... look at www.spamassassin.org for more info.
