Postfix 2.3 and MailScanner

[Holger Gebhard]

Hi Julian,
hi Group,

a upgrade to mailscanner version 4.55.10 does not help to solve the problem 
with postfix 2.3.2, it was a try...

I attached some queuefiles which produce the "out-of-order" postfix warning 
message in log:

Directory "incoming" contains messages from postfixqueue before scanning by 
mailscanner.
Directory "archiv" contains messages from mailscanner archiv function.
Directory "outgoing" contains messages from postfixqueue after scanning by 
mailScanner.

Queuefiles from incoming and archiv have the same content, no postfix 
warning for this files.
Queuefiles form outgoing are modified by mailscanner, but only some produce 
the postfix warning.

To see the warning just stop outgoing postfix (split queues) or postfix 
(hold queue). Then copy a message from outgoing directory to postfix 
incoming queue directory. Check systemrights for the copied file (for debian 
set to postfix.root). Next start Postfix and search your logs for the 
warning.

Hope anyone can help to solve the problem...


Thanks

Holger
