I changed the log file patch in /root/.razor/razor-agent.conf to the /var/log directory and it still keeps writing to the postfix spool.  Do I need to restart something for the change to take effect?  Thanks!

Ah, but does MailScanner run as root? Not likely with a postfix setup
(and definitely not with an Mdv setup... they default to the
non-writeable chrooted postfix $HOME;).
So you need a .razor (and .pyzor) in ~postfix (/var spool/postfix
IIRC). This is why you need do some silly hoops with it:-).
You could probably just set things up as root, then copy over the
directories to ~postfix and the chown them over to the postfix user.

Cheers
