Normally I am pretty good about slugging my way through things but the
scanner has me licked. Maybe I am not explaining well enough what I am
doing. That would make it tough for the smartest of people to help me. I
have copied the portion of the instruction from Source Forge where I think I
am losing it. I hope this help me explain it.

The installation went without error...
 
Before going any further, you can test the installation by running
./contrib/test_installation.sh. This will send three Emails: one normal and
two "infected" with the EICAR test virus - to the administrator Email
address. Obviously Qmail-Scanner should catch them, quarantine them and send
messages to the administrator stating that such messages had been caught.
The EICAR is a test virus - not a real one - so don't get too concerned! :-)
If you receive the original messages instead of "Virus found" messages, then
something is wrong with your install.

First failure, they all 3 get through. A little background, I have installed
the qmail-1.03+patches-18.src.rpm. I can see the package expanded in the src
dir. Most RPMs will put everything in the right place. How can I check to
see if this one did? I am also running daemontools0.76 on RH7.2.


At this stage the Qmail startup script(s) (e.g. /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail )
will need to be updated so that Qmail knows to use qmail-scanner-queue.pl
instead of qmail-queue.

For me, the above is actually a link to /var/qmail/bin/qmailctl. The setup
did it. Is this the same for everyone else? The qmail-scanner-queue.pl is in
the bin.
 
echo -n "qmail-smtpd, "
QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl" export QMAILQUEUE
##########
What exactly does the above command do, and which file should it be on? Is
this writing to a file? If so, which one? Is this supposed to create a file
called QMAILQUEUE?

(softlimit -a 5120000 tcpserver -l`hostname -f` -c20 -b30 -P -h -R -t10 \
 -O -Q -v -x/var/qmail/control/tcprules.cdb \
 -uQMAILDUSER -gQMAILDGROUP 0 25 qmail-smtpd 2>&1) | splogger tcpserver &
##########
I am running multilog, should the above command have splogger switched to
multilog. Also exactly which file does the above go on? Should it be
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Doug

Lastly and this may be a really stupid one, is there a file created called
QMAILQUEUE and what is the path?
