MailScanner issue with postfix

[Sylvain MEDEOT]

Of course I will help you...

Basically, I solved the initial problem but another comes in...

>From what I've read from your mails, it seems that MailScanner does nothing
with your /var/spool/postfix.in...

And that's very strange !

I followed the installation guide which is quite good... Anyway, it appears
that the version of Postfix I use was a little bit old and was not creating
directories structure bases on the first characters from each mail names.

Thanks to Julian's help, the solution was to add the following lines
in /etc/postfix/main.cf :

queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
hash_queue_depth = 1
hash_queue_names = incoming

and in /etc/postfix.in/main.cf :

queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix.in
hash_queue_depth = 1
hash_queue_names = deferred

After doing this, you should stop your postfix processes and
remove /var/spool/postfix and /var/spool/postfix.in

Then, mkdir /var/spool/postfix /var/spool/postfix.in

and

postfix -c /etc/postfix.in start
postfix -c /etc/postfix.in check
postfix -c /etc/postfix start
postfix -c /etc/postfix check


And finally, check_MailScanner

Carefully read you logs to see if any problem...

On mine :

And yes, it works and my emails are now scanned... But some mails sent were
never delivered...

Then, after a few minutes, the system hangs up... The only strange things
found in the logs are :

Well, I don't know where to look...
