Hi,

I know that this is more of a postfix issue than a mailscanner one but since
this has come up before and since its related to Mailscaner......

I have been trying to use 'postdrop -c /etc/postfix < [message filename]' to
re-inject a quarantined message into /var/spool/postfix/incoming (the
outgoing message queue) but keep getting the following error:

Aug 12 09:49:10 mailscanner postfix/postdrop[26278]: fatal: uid=0:
unexpected record type: 67

The mail file is a proper queue file, its owned by postfix:postfix but it
only has owner rw flags set. If I also add x flag and copy it to
/var/spool/postfix/incoming/<first letter> postfix sends it no problem at
all. Am I doing something wrong?

Cheers,

Sam
