I would be happy to implement the qmail-scanner tool, but I'm not sure how this
would or could impact the currently installed qmail system and Plesk. Also, I
do not know the impact or of the qmail patch can be applied without hurting the
pre-installed setup also. If I knew that qmail was pre-installed by default
than I would not fear making patches to the system. I just do not want to
damage the system and shutdown email by implementing something like this. I
know that Spam Assassin works, so qmail must have some means of shelling out
and checking this. If I could find how or where this was, I could just script
ClamAV to also do this. I was not sure if other have had the same or simular
problem.
Thanks for the reply.

A simple way is to install qmail-scanner. This program replace your
qmail-queue program to analize virus using clamav. You only need to
install it and configure your env QMAILQUEUE variable related with your
SMTP service pointing to qmail-scanner. To make it work, your Qmail
must have applied QMAILQUEUE patch, cause this is not present by default.
