I don't see any reason that vpopmail and qmail-scanner can't funtion together.
qmail-scanner is placed in between the qmail-smtpd and qmail-queue,
These both run normally on a vpopmail install. So when qmail-scanner is
installed qmail-smtpd then qmail-scanner then qmail-queue run....
It should be invisible to vpopmail.
I am in the process of evaluating this now. It all looks good so far.
As for scanning for viruses on a mail server, its a major point of entry into
any network. Most viruses spred by email. Most people run MS
worstations/Desktops. Simple rule. Try to stop all viruses before they can get
to the end user. Run it on all server. Especially the mail server!
