Let me see if I can alleviate some confusion.
simscan is a scanning controller of sorts. It controls invoking clamav
and spamassassin to do the actual scanning. Once the scanning is
complete, if the message is marked as spam (tagged by spamassassin)
*and* the spam score is not less than spam_hits (specified in the
simcontrol file), then simscan passes a return code back to qmail-smtpd
to reject the message.
spamassassin scans and scores a message. If the score is not less than
the required_score value (specified in the local.cf file), then the
message is marked as spam.
I hope this clarifies things. If it does, perhaps someone would care to
update the appropriate wiki pages.

http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Simscan This includes this
snippet answering your question:
/"Breaking this down using parentheses() to help with clarity: (:) is
default, as in default processing rule--higher ranking rules can be
applied. (clam=yes) scan with clamd (spam=yes) scan with spamd
(spam_hits=12) spam score of 12 or greater will be deleted--not
delivered once the score hits 12 in this case (attach=.exe:.pif:.scr)
block messages with attachments that have these extensions. If that is
the only rule in simcontrol, every single mail for every single
recipient on every single domain that is accepted by the toaster would
be processed by those parameters. "/
To me this means that the simcontrol file is processed first. I am not
entirely sure why the local.cf file is needed unless you aren't using
Simscan.

/var/qmail/control/simcontrol is like this:

Anyone knows what this does exactly? Is it the "spam_hits" the spam
score needed to drop mails by the simscan?
CJ, there is no "appropriate file". It depends in what you are trying
to do.

Well that explains why when I changed it nothing appeared to

/var/qmail/simcontrol spamhits setting the setting that needs to
be lower than the local.cf <http://local.cf> file?

CJ,
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf <http://local.cf/> isn't only for

"It is also worth noting that the default Simscan config is set
to reject spam messages at the same score as the mailfilter
script. You will need to change the simcontrol default score to a
higher value to allow spam messages to be processed by the
mailfilter script or the spambox option will have no visible effect."

Bruno,
The spam threshold can be found in
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf <http://local.cf> You'll need
to restart spamassassin after modifying.
Roundcube looks nice, but has had some security issues. Not
sure it's ready for primetime yet.

Hi Eric, thanks a lot for your answer. It helped me a lot!
I'm back from my vacations so hands to my servers again...
About quotas and displaying it at the webmail it is not that
important. If it works great, if not, is not that
necessary... After solving other "issues" I'll have a look
at the new versions of vpopmail too.
I installed qtp and spamdyke, it was so easy that I want to
qtp-conquerworld... but is not there yet =(
I also found how to enable the spambox and reinstalled the
qmailadmin but I wasn't able to find where to configure the
score for the simscan which is still rejecting all spam
messages. Where can I set a higher score for the simscan?
About the Horde package you mentioned, I'm not very
interested because of a personal dislike :P.
I tried Roundcube Webmail and I found it very good looking.
I installed it at my smaller mail server running the
original courier packages and it runs great, I love it.
I tried it after at the bigger mail server with dovecot and
%&TG!!!, is SO slow, almost unusable. I think there might be
some timeout when it asks for the quota information that is
not being sent by the dovecot service or it has to be "asked
for" differently. Did someone tried Dovecot 2 with a
qmailtoaster? I'm running 1.2.16...
I'll try to have a look at this because I'd like very much
to be able to use Roundcube at the big mail server so if
someone has any information about how quotas are managed by
courier/dovecot/webmails it will be welcome :D

Hi all!
Hey Bruno. Welcome to the QMT community.
I'm kind of new with qmailtoaster and it has been a
great experience so
far. I installed it firstly on a "large" server with
1000 mail accounts
and it works perfectly. I had at the begining some
issues with large
inboxes (50k + mails), no webmail was able to open
it, the imap server
always timed out. I tried replacing Courier with
Dovecot and voilà! No
more problems with webmails or nothing.
Now I have a new server installed for a smaller site
and I found out
that with Courier, Squirrelmail is able to read and
display the space
used/left which if I install Dovecot it is not able
to do it. So now I
have my doubts if I will leave Courier or replace it
with Dovecot... I
like best the Dovecot servers but I don't have any
other complains about
Courier than the issue with the first server I
installed.
QMT will be using Dovecot in the future (Courier has
dropped vpopmail support), so I'd stick with Dovecot.
Is it possible to configure the squirrelmail or
dovecot to display the
space left/used at the webmail?
I don't know off hand how SM acquires this info, and
wasn't aware that it's unavailable w/ dovecot. You're
welcome to have a go at fixing it yourself if you're so
inclined. Someone else here might look into it as well.
Any other thoughts or experiences about
Dovecot/Courier might help me.
Presently, quotas on QMT don't work right. I'm looking
into upgrading vpopmail in order to fix this, but
haven't yet decided to use vpopmail 5.4.32 or to try
v5.5.x, which is not yet 'stable'.
I think fixing quotas should be done first, then we can
look into why it is that SM doesn't show this data with
dovecot.
Also, you might want to know that there is a project
barely underway to package Horde webmail for QMT. I hope
to get that project going again soon.
Another doubt I'm having is what happens with mails
found as spam. If my
tests were correct, "they" are being deleted. Is it
possible to create a
Junk folder to every user and tell spamassasin to
move spam mails there?
There is a 'spambox' option which is part of
qmailadmin-toaster. Search the wiki
(http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com) for spambox, and you'll
find information about implementing it.
I could make some sort of script to create a Junk
maildir to every user,
there's no much difficult there. But is it possible
to tell the filters
to move spam to a junk box??
The spambox option does all of this for you.
I there a mailing list log? Where can I read it?
http://www.mail-archive.com/qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com/
http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.mail.qmail.toaster
Any other suggestions about something cool to add to
my qmailtoasters
are also welcome. Thanks in advance for any help and
have a great
2011!!!!!!! :D
Be sure to have qmailtoaster-plus
(http://qtp.qmailtoaster.com) installed, and use
qtp-install-spamdyke to install spamdyke. If I had to
choose only one anti-spam tool, it'd be spamdyke.
Once again, welcome Bruno.
