Qmailscanner

Credits

Various bits of code, scripts, and procedures were put together with information from John Simpson's qmail.jms1.net website. It's an excellent resource on managing and setting up a Qmail server.

Qmail-Scanner is (was?) a popular option for a Qmailrocks-style mail server but is slowly falling out of favor to Simscan. Hence, these instructions will no longer be updated as I am no longer using Qmailscanner on my own servers.
