MailScanner config probs ..

[Adam Bogacki]

Hi, I recently set up MailScanner and am pleased to see it constantly
popping up in TOP, showing me it is active. A few details remain to
be resolved, however.

/var/spool/MailScanner  was empty so I created dir's archive, incoming,
and quarantine ..

Tux:/var/spool/MailScanner# ls
archive  incoming  quarantine

However syslog tells me it cannot read lines 153 and 157 in 
'incoming' and 'quarantine' .. 

Also, there are problems creating a SpamAssassin cache database,
and ownership problems with  /var/spool/exim4_incoming/input 

My user name on the system is 'adam'.

I like what I see with MailSscanner and would like to tune it properly.

Latest syslog output follows.
