Diane,
This could be a restriction caused by rules on the MTA, or it could be a
permissions thing. I am assuming from your post in the ClamAV group a couple
days ago that you are using Postfix? If so, double-check the settings in
MailScanner.conf, especially the Systems Settings section (near the top) and
the Notices to System Administrators section (nearer the bottom). I don't
use Postfix so I'll have to defer to someone else who does for detailed
settings, however, the comments are pretty clear. Don't give up, there are a
few here who use Postfix successfully and I'm sure you'll get the help you
need.

It may be helpful to include your specific configuration and maybe a snippet
of your MailScanner.conf (System Settings) to get a more detailed response.

Kind regards,
Ken
