 An [Module] that enables a [Qmail] email server to scan all gateway-ed email for certain characteristics (i.e. a content scanner). It is typically used for its anti-[Virus] protection functions, in which case it is used in conjunction with external [Virus] scanners. but also enables a site (at a server/site level) to react to email that contains specific strings in particular headers, or particular attachment filenames or types (e.g. *.VBS attachments). It also can be used as an archiving tool for auditing or backup purposes. [QmailScanner] is integrated into the mail server at a lower level than some other [Unix]-based virus scanners (i.e [ClamAv], resulting in better performance. It is capable of scanning not only locally sent/received [Email], but also email that crosses the server in a relay capacity. 
  
 __Issues [DrewBroadley] had with [QmailScanner]:__ 
  
-When placing the line to set the Environment Variable of QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl" in /service/qmail-smtpd/run , I had issues where the qmail-smtpd service did not start up and the /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl was stalled and would not go past this stage. An undocumented solution was to place an __&__ after the .pl file e.g QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl __&__". Hope that helps someone get past the 2 days of unproductivity I had from this!
