To solve your problem, you don't necessarily have to do that.

Ok, I'll assume that the mail you don't want to check for virii comes from
a known range of IP addresses.

No, I'd recommend you to use scan4virus (or AMAVIS :-) and the QMAILQUEUE
patch (both discussed recently). Then, set the default QMAILQUEUE to the
virus scanner (in the startup file), but in your smtp.rules (that
tcpserver reads from), set QMAILQUEUE to the real "qmail-queue"
executable for those IPs whose mail you don't want to scan.
Reversely, you can have the default to be qmail-queue and only run the
scanner for mail from certain IPs.

No, but I'm dead sure it can be done :-> No need to run 2 qmails...
