Hi, sending the string "X-MailScanner: Found to be clean" in the mail-header to any of our Qmail-Scanner mailservers, results in a 20 minute hangup of the corresponding qmail-scanner process and a timeout for the remote side. The problem seems to exist with the current 1.25 and any older qmail-scanner version.
Below I attached the output of debugging logs: I noticed the 20min time gap the qmail-scanner process seems to hang. Hopefully we can fix this soon, as this bug makes it easy to flood the machines with DOS attacks...
