Seems the MailMan is picky about case of the user part of the
address... The mail below (now forwarded to the list separately too)
was sent by clicking on the address in the standard list footer, which
has been "beutified" with the usual mixed cas... Which seems to be a
no-no. Sigh.
IIRC, MailMan is actually correct in making this distinction in the
user part of the adress, so... Jules (or Paul or Michelle), could you
change this to match the actual list name (mailscanner)?

Subject: SQLite and postfix...
Just a note, if this hasn't been covered already:

Updated to the latest stable (4.50.14) on my prod machine running
postfix...It's a Mdv 10.2, so I used that rpm method.

Apparantly the SQLite db got created during install, with only user rw
perms... and a "non-postfix" user. This made MailScanner loop during
startup (all the children died immediately). Running --debug
complained about line 172 in SA.pm, which happen to be an operation on
the SQLite, so ... eventually led me right:-).

Simple fix is to remove the file
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/SpamAssassin.cache.db and do "service
MailScanner restart" ... and a pristine file with the correect
perms/owner get created. One could've just changed the owner, of
course:-).

Other than that, it looks to be _really_ nice... and fast.
