I call qmail-scanner from vpopmail. here is my ~vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp file: ************************************************* # No Qmail-Scanner at all for mail from 127.0.0.1 127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",RBLSMTPD="",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue " # Use Qmail-Scanner without SpamAssassin on any mail from the local network # [it triggers SpamAssassin via the presence of the RELAYCLIENT var] #10.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",RBLSMTPD="",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scann er- queue" # # Use Qmail-Scanner with SpamAssassin on any mail from the rest of the world :allow,QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue" *************************************************

By calling qmail-scanner it is calling my anti-virus and my spam assassin.

As for maildrop, after the message is processed it lands in my domain directory and reads from my mailfilter file. This file then calls maildrop.

Here is my mailfilter file:

************************************************* VPOP="| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox" VHOME=`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d $EXT@$HOST`

if ( $SIZE < 262144 ) { exception { xfilter "/usr/local/bin/spamc -f -u $EXT@$HOST" } }

if (/^X-Spam-Flag: *YES/) { exception { include $VHOME/Maildir/.mailfilter } ## IF YOU WANT TO GATHER ALL SPAM INTO 1 MAILDRIR #exception { # to /home/pop/spam/ #} ## OR IF YOU WANT TO DELIVER SPAM TO THE USERS MAILDIR exception { to "$VPOP" } } else { exception { include $VHOME/Maildir/.mailfilter } exception { to "$VPOP" } } *************************************************

I know that it is complicated. If you have more questions feel free to ask on or off list.
