>4.1. What Is Qmail-Scanner?</H1
><P
>From the Qmail-Scanner website: "Qmail-Scanner is an addon 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
				commercial 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.
				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."</P
