postfix + mailscanner permission problem in active queue

[keith]

Thank you for your kindly reply.

I have follow your suggest and change the Mailscanner.conf
------
# Set whether to use postfix, sendmail, exim or zmailer.
# If you are using postfix, then see the "SpamAssassin User State Dir"
# setting near the end of this file
MTA = postfix

#Run As User = mail
#Run As User = postfix
Run As User = postfix

# Group to run as (not normally used for sendmail)
#Run As Group = mail
#Run As Group = postfix
Run As Group = root
-----------------

I seen the problem is fixed, but the maillog have a new error message is this
message below, I checked the /var/spool/postfix is own by postfix and 
"SpamAssassin User State Dir" is empty , why still prompt this message ?

Thanks

* New Error Log
-------------------
