Configuring qmail-scanner

[ATC]

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.

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.
