Yes please, for both. We run a similar setup: qmail + vpopmail + Courier IMAP + sqwebmail + maildrop. But maildrop isn't currently accessible to normal users. I just use it for staff IMAP accounts. I _like_ QMAILQUEUE for it's flexibility. In fact, have a custom Python filtering script that I wrote for special purposes which does a great job under QMAILQUEUE. However, my Python script is highly optimized for the task at hand, and I'm not sure I can say the same about qmail-scanner. Also I'm not too keen on running Perl in the qmail-queue "pipeline". Firstly, I don't particularly care for Perl as a language (even though I frequently use it for many Sys Admin scripts), and secondly, I'd rather keep the number of interpretted, low level mail server filtering scripts to a minimum. My manager has also expressed interest in "selective" virus protection, perhaps on a per domain or even a per user basis. Anyway, I'd love to see what you've got.
