MailScanner & Postfix

Follow the guide in the wiki, triple check you have set it up EXACTLY as 
documented - my bet is your directory permissions are wrong, or the 
postfix user/group setting in mailscanner.conf is wrong.

Also, does Postfix know were your exchange server is? If ALL of your 
mail is destined for Exchange use the Transport map, make life heaps easier.

On a Suse 9.3 server I have MailScanner, Spamassassin, Postfix, & ClamAV set up to scan mail and then pass it on to an internal Exchange server. I can see the test message going through the system in /var/log/mail.info, but it never makes it to the Exchange server.
