mountpoint

[Jens W. Skov - JS Consult]

Thanks you your help, both of you.
I got rid of one of the errors, but is it ok to put /var/spool im tmpfs?

I just noticed that mailscanner complained that /var/spool/postfix was not
writeable by user postfix.
I chowned the dir to postfix:postfix. Now postfix complains that it's not
owned by root? Any idea why?
