I think the problem with postfix is that its settings in mailscanner are
re-setting the permissions on the working directory to what postfix needs.
Sendmail, running as root, can go wherever it wants to go in the filesystem
within limits. Maybe if clamav can be in the postfix group, or postfix be a
secondary group for clam.
