Hi,
	I've installed MailScanner-4.58.9 e I'm running Postfix 2.3.7 .
All is running but I've this error in the log:

"KickMessage failed as couldn't write to /var/spool/postfix/public/qmgr, No
such device  address "

I've read in the miling list archive about a problem of Postfix.pm and
function KickMessage but think regard old MailScanner version.

This is the permission on the directory:
root at flick:/var/spool/postfix/public> ls -lrt
total 8
drwxr-xr-x   21 root     postfix      4096 Mar  1 16:42 ..
srw-rw-rw-    1 postfix  postfix         0 Mar  1 17:55 showq
srw-rw-rw-    1 postfix  postfix         0 Mar  1 17:55 qmgr
srw-rw-rw-    1 postfix  postfix         0 Mar  1 17:55 pickup
srw-rw-rw-    1 postfix  postfix         0 Mar  1 17:55 flush
srw-rw-rw-    1 postfix  postfix         0 Mar  1 17:55 cleanup
drwx--x---    2 postfix  postdrop     4096 Mar  1 17:55 

and the setting in MailScanner.conf:

#####################################################
Run As User = postfix
Run As Group = postfix
Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/postfix/hold
Outgoing Queue Dir = /var/spool/postfix/incoming
MTA = postfix
#####################################################

This is the output of MailScanner --lint

root at flick:/opt/MailScanner/bin> ./MailScanner --lint
Read 764 hostnames from the phishing whitelist
Checking version numbers...
Version number in MailScanner.conf (4.58.9) is correct.
MailScanner setting GID to  (51)
MailScanner setting UID to  (51)

Checking for SpamAssassin errors (if you use it)...
Using SpamAssassin results cache
Connected to SpamAssassin cache database
SpamAssassin reported no errors.
Using locktype = flock
MailScanner.conf says "Virus Scanners = clamav"
Found these virus scanners installed: clamavmodule

Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
	Gianluca
