      Hello,

      Upon MailScanner –lint I have the following output:

      
MailScanner --lint
Trying to setlogsock(unix)
...
Checking version numbers...
Version number in MailScanner.conf (4.84.5) is correct.

Your envelope_sender_header in spam.assassin.prefs.conf is correct.
MailScanner setting GID to  (1003)
MailScanner setting UID to  (1003)
...

Cannot chdir to /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/47712, Permission denied at /usr/local/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/WorkArea.pm line 235

      I have chowned /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming to postfix -> chown -R postfix:postfix (as MailScanner runs with GID/UID 1003 and that corresponds to postfix on my system) but I still get the error.

      Please help!

      Thank you,

      Nick

          changeuser clamav to postfix in conf file  /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf

          Thank you for your reply but it didn't work. I have the same error even with user postfix in clamd.conf.

          On a different note, do you happen to know how I can prevent the system to overwrite permission settings on restart? Also, if I restart MailScanner it overwrites the manual changes I make to MaiScanner.conf :(

          Thank you in advance!

                  Hi Marcelloc,

                  I upgrade my pf from 2.03 to 2.1 release version, it seems postfix and mailscanner is not working properly. I can still receive email but I believe mailscanner is not working in background. There is no log in "search mail" option.

                            I've pushed some fixes to the package.

                            I'm Still testing/checking clamav startup.

                            I've not bumped version yet, so just reinstall the package in 15 minutes.

                                  Thanks marcelloc,
                                  Can you write a mini how-to for mailscanner package?

                                        Configure package from left to right. All default options are in (yes/no)

                                            Yes. Install Postfix and then MailScanner, enable MailScanner in Antispam section of Postfix, Third part Antispam Settings.
