Hi Guys

I've installed MailScanner on Debain Woody, and configured Postfix to work
with it using instructions at
http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/install/postfix.shtml.

Everything seemed to go okay, and I am still receiving mail, but nothing is
been filtered for spam and I have the following entries in /var/log/mail.log
(about every 10 seconds!)

Feb  2 23:20:04 lyon MailScanner[25810]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner
version 4.26.7 starting...
Feb  2 23:20:04 lyon MailScanner[25810]: Could not read directory
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming
Feb  2 23:20:04 lyon MailScanner[25810]: Error in configuration file line
115, directory /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming for incomingworkdir does not
exist (or is not readable)

/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming does exist, and is owned by postfix and the
group postfix. Permissions are 750.

drwxr-x---    2 mail     mail           48 Feb  1 17:12 archive
drwxr-x---    2 postfix  postfix        48 Feb  1 17:12 incoming
drwxr-x---    2 postfix  postfix        48 Feb  1 17:12 quarantine

Can anyone tell me what's going wrong? I've googled, and can't find anyone
else with this problem.

Thanks


Gareth
