I think it isn't the spamassassin because I've tried simscan without it (as it recommends in http://qmailwiki.inter7.com/index.php?title=Simscan/Guide for the first try) but I got the same error...

Did you try using SIMSCAN_DEBUG=2 ?
Make your SMTPd startup file to be something like this: --------------- #!/bin/sh
SIMSCAN_DEBUG=2 export SIMSCAN_DEBUG
QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan" export QMAILQUEUE
QMAILDUID=`id -u vpopmail` NOFILESGID=`id -g vpopmail` MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming` LOCAL=`head -1 /var/qmail/control/me`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 20971520 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l "$LOCAL" -x /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \
-u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/tru
e 2>&1
---------------
Then restart qmail-smtpd and look in the qmail-smtpd log, or maybe the maillog, one or the other
