mailscanner with postfix startup messages

[Steen, Glenn]

For me (when I had similar "errors" they were due to the ~postfix
directory not being writeable by the postfix user, so razor (and pyzor)
couldn't create their .razor (and .pyzor) directories respectively.
Simple fix is to do it for them with
mkdir ~postfix/.razor
mkdir ~postfix/.pyzor
chown postfix ~postfix/.razor ~postfix/.pyzor

For the SA error, if it is regarding ~postfix not being writable, it's
pretty much the same, and (as can be seen in the
/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf file) can be worked around with
something like
#      mkdir /var/spool/MailScanner/spamassassin
#      chown postfix.postfix /var/spool/MailScanner/spamassassin
SpamAssassin User State Dir = /var/spool/MailScanner/spamassassin
.... (I also created a ~postfix/.spamassassin (owned by postfix too),
but that shouldn't be needed) Else you should listen to Martin et al:-).

Hello,
    I'm trying to get mailscanner going with postfix. I have customized
mailscanner.conf and made the other changes as per the howto. I am
getting
some strange messages in the maillog:
"bogus file HOLD/razor-agent.log"
That's coming from postfix postsuper when i start postfix. Checking
/var/spool/postfix/hold there is indeed a file razor-agent.log. I do not
know how this got here and would like to know if it's something i have
to
worry about or a config problem? Next, i'm getting a message about
spamassassin whitelist functionality, not sure what this is? I'm also
getting a message "messages found but no hashed queue directories".
    I'd also like to know if postfix-style virtual domains are also
effected
by this setup?
Thanks.
Dave.
