Do what you're comfortable with, Rick, but qtp-newmodel is right up your
ally. It's written to be used by admins with little to no experience. It
also does things in a way that, should there be a problem, your
operational (production) services are not disturbed.
Some clamav versions, and I believe that one in particular, have been
problematic. I highly recommend at least running qtp-newmodel to upgrade
that. Then you can also see how simple qtp-newmodel is to use, and how
it works.
Once you have clamav updated, I would try turning it back on, for two
reasons. First of all, your other server won't be scanning your port 587
(outbound) email, so you really should still have clamav active for
that. Also, all anti-virus filters are not the same, and none are
perfect, so it would be a good thing to have your QMT re-scan incoming
messages for viruses.
One other thing. I don't know if you're using spamdyke or not, but
running spamdyke behind/after another email filtering server is
ineffective, because of the way in which spamdyke works. I know of
nothing anywhere close to the effectiveness and efficiency of spamdyke.
While spamdyke will be included in the stock QMTv2, installing it in
your present QMT host is as easy as running the qtp-install-spamdyke
script. I would seriously consider running spamdyke on your QMT, and
eliminating the perimeter scanner that you're presently using in your
delivery chain. I would bet that this would actually lighten the
scanning load on your server, and you will have eliminated your
perimeter scanner entirely.
Of course, it's all up to you.

My outdated Clamav appears to be causing my problem. I set clamav to "no" in
Simscan control and now I can connect and send mail thru port 587 . I first
scan mail on another server and forward it to this one so having Clamav
outdated has not been a problem.
I have not run qtp-new model because everything has been running so well I
have been reluctant to changed anything . I am afraid with my limited
knowledge I will break something and cannot fix it .
Thank you very much for your help

Please don't trim too much from previous posts, Rick. It removes
context, causing me to jump back and forth between posts, which makes it
difficult to help you. Your 2nd post in this thread was more helpful.
Ok, so let's check out simscan et al. Are you seeing anything in the
clamav log? Is clamav running? Also, your queues might have some
problems. Please do:
# service qmail stop
# queue_repair.py -r
# service qmail start
FWIW, your qmail-toaster package is a little out of date. I recommend
upgrading it. qtp-newmodel makes that a trivial thing to do. If you had
run qtp-newmodel recently, the queue_repair.py command would have been
run for you already. ;)
