Check that both postfix and clamav (or whatever the users/groups are
called) have relevant perms... Run As User/Group and 0660 perms in
MailScanner.conf, correct perms on your incoming directory (perhaps
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming), Also check your clamd settings, of
course.
Perhaps the most crucial bit though... is to make sure that you have
sane permissions on /tmp, and that they can create files/directories
there as needed.
