Quarantine dirs not being created

[Adam Gross]

Permissions look good.  I've compared all of that, new box versus old box.

I just ran 'su postfix; mkdir 20100822' and received 'mkdir: cannot create directory `20100822': Permission denied'  I ran the command in /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine which is owned by postfix:www-data.

drwxr-xr-x 20 postfix www-data 4096 2010-08-21 12:07 quarantine

anything perms further up the directory tree that mean postfix can't create the dir?

have you tried su-ing to postfix and then mkdir-ing to check postfix can indeed create the dir?

On a daily basis I have to create /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/ dirs matching the date, then spam/nonspam folders under there...  assign permissions postfix:www-data and then everything is hunky dorey.  This system is about 10 days old and ran with no issues for the first 8.  Yesterday and now again today I've had to create the folders.  I verified the run-as user and group for MailScanner and quarantine as postfix for the user and www-data for the group.  This is a Ubuntu 10.04 box...  I remember some weird stuff with Ubuntu 8 but haven't been able to locate any information about 10.  Thanks in advance!
