    About: Qmail-Scanner, (also known as scan4virus) is an addon that enables a
    Qmail Email server to scan all gatewayed Email for certain characteristics.
    It is typically used for its anti-virus protection functions, in which case
    it is used in conjunction with commercial virus scanners. but also enables
    a site to react to Email (at a server/site level) 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. Qmail-Scanner is integrated into the mail
    server at a lower level than some other Unix-based virus scanners,
    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.
    
    Changes: Added more sanity checks for insane conditions. Q-S will now exit
    with a temp error if it finds itself running the scanner loop for more than
    20 minutes. That will catch broken virus scanners that are spinning around
    on wierd messages. Alerts to recipients are now limited to only local
    users. See "--local-domains" configure option. Better OS support, etc.
