Make sure that clamav or spamassassin are running, then run try running qmail-scanner-reconfigure again

thanks to the post by Troy McClure.

In case anybody else missed it, the cure for me on my fc1, psa 7.0.4 server was:

stop spamassassin
install qmail-scanner
start spamassassin

all was well after that.

this got rid of those error messages like this on install:

install: cannot stat `qmail-scanner-queue.pl': No such file or directory

Now onto configuring this bad boy! My main reason for spending time on this is that I've been getting slammed by what I now believe is one of my users being infected by a virus that is sending out huge amounts of email through his or her account. Due to the sucky default logging in plesk/qmail, the secure log only shows the smtp users ip. As a stopgap I threw in an iptables rule to block access from that ip, but it would be nice to know which user it is so I can find out some other way than them calling me and telling me they cant access email

Yeah tracing that stuff in qmail is a bitch, theres no authentication log tying the traffic to the smtp_auth credentials. You could try throwing a sniffer up and catching the traffic as it goes through the box, seeing how you know the IP of the offending user. Or maybe look through your "last" logs for that IP address (if the user used ftp it will be logged in last)
