If you installed qmail via LWQ your softlimit is likely set too low. There
isn't
enough memory to load the scanner into memory. Try upping it to 5-6M,
i.e. change softlimit -m 200000 to 6000000. This is actually mentioned in
the qmail-scanner docs. I use qmail-scanner with uvscan (McAfee) without
problems.
