MailScanner 4.78

[Ryan Ivey]

Yes, after further investigation, this boils down to permissions on
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming.  Using ClamAV, permissions are
postfix:clamav - 755 on the parent directory and insure the Locks directory
and the temporary lock directories are the same.

postfix:postfix - 600 on the remaining:
Processing.db
razor-agent.log
SpamAssassin.cache.db
SpamAssassin-Temp

Thanks
