Well, after some of you told me about mailwatch I installed it this morning.
Now I'm struggling with some other problem:

In order to be able to access the /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantined
directory from mailwatch i.e. the apache-process I created a new group
called m_watch wwith both, the user 'postfix' and the user 'wwwrun' are
members of.

Now as MailScanner is Running as user and group 'postfix', I changed the
following setting MailScanner.conf:

Quarantine User = postfix
Quarantine Group = m_watch

assuming MailScanner would now create the files and driectories in the
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantined with these settings. It does not however.
It's still using user and group postfix instead. Is there a way to get
MailScanner changing the group to m_watch other than the above mentioned or
should I even set the "Run as Group"-Setting to m_watch???

TIA for your help!
