MailScanner issue with postfix

[Sylvain MEDEOT]

But, do you have /var/spool/postfix and /var/spool/postfix.in created ?
If so, once starting the Postfix processes, all sub-directories inside
these directories should be created on the fly...

Can you do a
ls -l /var/spool
ls -l /var/spool/postfix
ls -l /var/spool/postfix.in
