MTA is sendmail 8.13.1. I dont recall what those permission "should" be...I never changed anything after the upgrade though? Below is the current perms

4.47? This may have started earlier but I had not tested or seen virus
attachements for some time so I am not sure. Although my quarantine
directory (/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine), has a few folders from
previous bad attachements, a recent test with an attached eicar.zip was
caught by clamav/mailscanner, an email went out that it was cleaned and
quarantined, but nothing new showed up in the quarantine directory?

Which MTA are you using? Do you have the permissions set correctly in the
quarantine directory?

the list might want to know the answer ;-)
