Hi Rohan

You are having a logical result from that test, unfortenately you are 
running a test for the very old versions of qmail-scanner and that 
information has not been updated in recent version... The user 
'qmaild' cannot read that file, in past times qmail-scanner was run 
by 'qmaild' but currently is run by 'qscand', so the test should be:

"setuidgid qscand /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl -g"
