qconfirm-check needs standard input to be a seekable file descriptor.
This is the case for a normal program delivery through a dot-qmail file,
so

 |qconfirm-check -n -d /home/mydomain/users/jim_test/.qconfirm

works.  It doesn't work if stdin is connected to the standard output of
another program via a shell pipe.  I don't know ``spamc'', can't help
you with this, sorry.
