4.39.3-1 bug or is it me?

[Quentin Campbell]

Julian

No, we have a single directory, /var/spool/mqueue.in. This is as it has
always been.

The command "ls -ld /var/spool/mqueue.in" returns:

drwx------    2 root     root         4096 Feb 23 09:43
/var/spool/mqueue.in

and the command "ls -lR /var/spool/mqueue.in" returns at present:

/var/spool/mqueue.in:
total 0

The group perhaps should be "mail" but on our mail gateways the setup
above is secure.

Note that whenI ran 4.39.3-1 in debug mode with two messages in the
mqueue.in queue, both messages were processed OK and without the log
message being generated. However before that point the reported message
message did occur for other messages so it appears to be message content
dependent.
