New installation configuration question.

Anything in /var/log/maillog?

Also try "MailScanner --debug" and see if you get any clues.

> 3.	Make sure you have the chroot jail set up in /var/spool/postfix. You

> will find a script in there to set up it up for your operating system. If
> you can't find that, then see the "Problems or Errors" section further
> down this page.
> 4.	At this point, things change from the setup for other MTAs as we can
> make it run with just one copy of Postfix, and let Postfix do the "split
> MTA" setup for us.
> 5.	In the Postfix configuration file /etc/postfix/main.cf add this
> line:
> 	header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/header_checks
> 6.	In the file /etc/postfix/header_checks add this line:
> 	/^Received:/ HOLD
> 	The effect of this is to tell Postfix to move all messages to the
> HOLD queue.

> In your MailScanner.conf file (probably in /etc/MailScanner or
> /opt/MailScanner/etc), there are 5 settings you need to change. They are

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

> You will need to ensure that the user "postfix" can write to
> /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming and /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine:
>
>     chown postfix.postfix /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming
>     chown postfix.postfix /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine
