OK ... this is what I got from the first addition:

/usr/sbin/update_virus_scanners
LOCKDIR = '/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/Locks'
RUNASU = 'postfix '
RUNASG = 'postfix '
lduid = , ldgid =

Then with the addition of the second part, I get:

/usr/sbin/update_virus_scanners
LOCKDIR = '/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/Locks'
RUNASU = 'postfix'
RUNASG = 'postfix'
lduid = 80, ldgid = 80

which looks much better ... yes?
