You'd have to write one that extracts the mail first and passes it parts to AV-scanner nevertheless when using qmail-qfilter. All instructions in qmail-qfilter I've found point at least to shell scripts as interim, surely a plus over loading Perl engine all the time, but not "the goal" IMHO. qmail-qscan execs 'ripmime' (a C written program as well) to extract messages and than invokes (for performance: hopefully C written) AV-scanner. It finally passed the message (when AV test returned negative) to qmail-queue (unless one modified the config, as I did ;-) ). IMHO this is (from PoV "performance") not comparable with qmail-qfilter or qmail-scanner. But if one does not need the full power of qmail-scanner a good choice as it seems. -- Best regards Peter Palmreuther There is no 'I' in 'team', yet there is an MVP.
