Hi,

 

I get this, probably a permission error. Question is where?

 

Dec 15 10:48:02 mx02 MailScanner[15560]: New Batch: Scanning 1 messages,
41747 bytes

/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/15560/B019B18313.AD4E7/winmail.dat

Dec 15 10:48:02 mx02 MailScanner[15560]: Corrupt TNEF winmail.dat that

Tried to circumvent it by adding 'Deliver Unparsable TNEF = yes', but that
did not help.

 

Permissions of: /var/spool/MailScanner

 

drwxr-x---  5 postfix postfix  4096 2010-11-08 10:44 .

drwxr-xr-x  6 root    root     4096 2010-11-08 10:44 ..

drwxr-x---  2 postfix postfix  4096 2010-10-21 11:39 archive

drwxrwx--- 10 postfix clamav   4096 2010-12-15 13:17 incoming

drw-rw----  2 postfix www-data 4096 2010-11-17 06:25 quarantine

 

As MailScanner is run as user postfix, and clam as user clamav, I suspect
that it should be owned by postfix:postfix, add clamav to postfix group and
finally a more generous chmod. Is that correct?
