Adding QMAILQUEUE to vpopmail.c sets this variable for every roaming
user (and only those). This is in addition to what you say in tcp.smtp.
When you set QMAILQUEUE in your smtp startup file, you set the variable
globally. So you lose the ability to specify diffent QMAILQUEUE values
for different IPs. Do you really want to scan for localhost?

Well, the hack is not very complicated. You can check
~vpopmail/etc/open-smtp after the change and will see if it works.
If you understand how tcp.smtp works you will immediately see if
everything works like it should. And, you still can test this on a dev
machine. I mean the same dev machine you are testing new versions of
vpopmail and qmail-scanner.
