Actually you could do this by just running a second instance of qmail on the same box.

That not a bad idea, you only need another machine running qmail with clamav in front of qmail servers. This way, you dont need to modify your current email servers. If your are not sure about to requested changes, this is the best solution.

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.

This may sound strange, but why not put another box in front of the qmail server just running as an smtp relay and virus scanner? You don't mention traffic loads, but if you're not running spamassassin on the bastion box, you shouldn't need much of a cpu.
