Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
It sounds like you are running the old method, using /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl. As the warning message after the qmail-scanner upgrade noted, you MUST change to using the new suid binary /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue for qmail-scanner to continue working. Also the group owner on your /var/spool/qmailscan is incorrect, the directory owner should be qscand:qscand and NOT qscand:vpopmail.
hm, thtas strange I use in /etc/tcp.smtp # Qmail-Scanner disabled for mail from 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",RBLSMTPD="",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue" # Qmail-Scanner enabled (virus and spam) for mail from external internet :allow,QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue" and in /etc/tcp.qmtp XXX.XX.XXX.XX:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",RBLSMTPD="" :allow,QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue" and still getting: Sep 24 15:35:47 audio1 X-Qmail-Scanner-1.23st: [host.domain.tld109603294766018785] cannot open /var/spool/qmailscan/qmail-scanner-queue-version.txt - did you initialise the system by running "qmail-scanner-queue.pl -z"? - Permission denied
make sure: chmod u+s /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue chgrp qscand /var/spool/qmailscan chown qscand:root /var/spool/qmailscan/{qmail-scanner-queue-version.txt,quarantine-attachments.db}
thanx that helped. I think it was the +s ; )
