I am trying to install qmail-scanner on Gentoo to use clamav and
spamassassin. According to the qmail-scanner instructions, I have verified
the functioning of clamav and spamassassin. However, when I try to test the
qmail-scanner:

./test_installation.sh -doit --log-details syslog

Sending standard test message - no viruses... 1/4
done!

Sending eicar test virus - should be caught by perlscanner module... 2/4
X-Qmail-Scanner-2.08st:[mail13781102327902736] clamdscan: corrupt or
unknown clamd scanner error or memory/resource/perms problem - exit status
512/2
qmail-inject: fatal: qq temporary problem (#4.3.0)
Bad error. qmail-inject died

This error appears consistently as a problem for at least the last ten
years on the forums and boards in various places.  I have tried making sure
that qscand is running clamd and has ownership rights and so on.  However,
I think this problem might be related to perl not running in setuid mode.
Apparently, setuid support has been discontinued in perl.

Along with the low current traffic in this newsgroup, this makes me suspect
that qmail-scanner is an abandoned product and cannot be expected to work
on any linux system.  Is this the case?

Kind Regards,
Harold Naparst
