You will need the errno.h patches for alot of the packages, due to the new glibc. There are several updated guides available. Or you can get them from www.qmail.org and do it the way you did it before. Anyway, here is a couple good guides:

http://www.shupp.org/toaster/
http://www.qmailrocks.org/
http://www.lifewithqmail.org/

I don't think any of them specifically address Fedora, but any of the Redhat 9.0 guides should be very close. Redhat 9.0 also contained the newer glibc.

No sorry, I've always left it up to individual users to provide their own email virus scanning and have never looked into doing it server side. But I'm sure there are some that work with qmail, as I've seen mention of them in the guides I pointed you too. Enjoy your new qmail server, it's a pain to setup, but once it's there it is very nice and troublefree.
