Very Likely Scott. Marco, when you ran the antivir wrapper, did you do
that as the postfix user? My money is on that you didn't:-).
I'd also follow the gist of Martins advice, to make this a simple as
possible to begin with... So perhaps disable the mirroring stuff (I
see very little real point to that anyway:-), if tripplechecking
postfix permissions (for Antivir) doesn't solve things.

Does it really matter? 4.47 is antiquated:-)... No real comparison ...
