H+BEDV AntiVir, AVP, Sophos Sweep,or McAfee ViruScan ? I used avp for a while (and I find it very efficient), but doesn't know the other ones... Well, Kaspersky Labs ships Kaspersky AntiVirus (AVP) for qmail. For a product comparison please visit www.av-test.org - they do comparisons of Linux products, too.

RE: amavis or qmail-scanner ?
Jeremy, I tried installing qmai-scanner and had some difficulty with the setuid root issues. qmail-scanner was wanting a new kernel built, which I can't easily do as it's a remote server. I switched to amavis and think that's a better solution. It's easy to install and essentially works by 'slipping' into the process of qmail operation. Plus, you don't need to patch qmail for the queue as well. I don't understand all the internals of qmail, I've been using it for about a month so I can't arque which way is one is better. Also, keep in mind that amavis/qmail-scanner are NOT virus scanners, but are essentially 'wrappers' to run a regular virus scanner like NAI, Sophos, etc. I use AMaVis with Sophos and have been happy with the performance.

Your problem was with perl - not with the OS way is one is better.
