Hi,
You are right, i have problem with my dir permissions:

Oct 27 16:30:35 <mail.info>luce MailScanner[70377]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner version 4.22-5 starting...
Oct 27 16:30:35 <mail.warn> luce MailScanner[70377]: Could not read directory /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming
Oct 27 16:30:35 <mail.err> luce  MailScanner[70377]: Error in configuration file line 94, directory /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming for incomingworkdir does not exist (or is not readable)

If i ask MailScanner to run under toto user & group... my file permissions shoul be:

drwxr-xr-x  4 root   wheel   512 Oct 27 16:25 MaiScanner/
drwxr-xr-x  2 root   daemon  512 Oct 26 11:22 mqueue/
drwxrwxr-x  2 root   toto  512 Oct 27 16:28 mqueue.in/

drwxrwxr-x  2 root  toto  512 Oct 27 16:09 incoming/
drwxrwxr-x  2 root  toto  512 Oct 27 16:10 quarantine/

I still have the same error.....Where is the mistake ??

Thx for your help.
