Way back it used to say that - but people kept complaining about setuid issues - i.e. the ignored the warning. So I made it stop.

(which isn't documented anywhere - and no, it's not that obvious) Well it can't think of everything. As you have installed the C-based wrapper, where is it? People install that with many names. So the script defaults to qmail-scanner-queue.pl. However, if you set QMAILQUEUE appropriately before calling it - it'll use that instead. I'll change the script from echo "setting QMAILQUEUE to $QMAILQUEUE for this test..." to echo "QMAILQUEUE was not set, defaulting to $QMAILQUEUE for this test..."

That's plain wrong. Your system shouldn't even be working if that's the case! > Question - for the -g initialization option, I've seen qmaild, qmailq, > and qscand. Which is right?
