I'm no expert with qmail or the toaster (yet).
That being said, go to http://www.nrg4u.com/ and have a look at the Big
Picture. It's a nice diagram of how qmail works, but doesn't include the
patches and add-ons.
My understanding is that simscan (and thus clamav and spamassassin) run
from the qmail-smtpd process. As such, only email from the outside world
is scanned. It's done there so that unwanted email doesn't use resources
by entering the mail server. The focus is on intercepting email at the
point of receiving, not delivery.
As you see in the Big Picture, mail sent locally doesn't travel via
qmail-smtp, it enters the queue via qmail-inject. If you want to scan
mail from local users, you'll need to plug simcan into the qmail-inject
process. I don't know how to do that, but I imagine it's possible, and
shouldn't be too difficult.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this.

i don't think /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp is the correct file to edit.
Whatever modifications i make it does nothing.
No one has any idea how to fix this?
I really can't believe that people are happy with this behaviour from qmail.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello,
I have simscan working, it scans the email with clamav and spamassassin.
But the problem is it doesn't seem to scan the email if a local user sent it.
I can't use something like fethcmail becuase none of the email is scanned.
I want simscan to treat all the emails the same.
How do i go about doing this?
I tried editing /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp
with:
127:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",BADMIMETYPE="",BADLOADERTYPE="M",CHKUSER_RCPTLIMIT="50",CHKUSER
_WRONGRCPTLIMIT="10",DKVERIFY="DEGIJKfh",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan",DKQUEUE="/
var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue.orig",DKSIGN="/var/qmail/control/domainkeys/%/private"
:allow,BADMIMETYPE="",BADLOADERTYPE="M",CHKUSER_RCPTLIMIT="50",CHKUSER_WRONGRCPTLIMIT="
10",DKVERIFY="DEGIJKfh",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan",DKQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qma
il-queue.orig",DKSIGN="/var/qmail/control/domainkeys/%/private"
That should do the same for everything. I don't understand why this isn't
working.
Thank you for your help.
