MailWatch / MailScanner issue

[Sampson, Aaron]

Yes I have added the -U to correct the Taint error that we were having which allowed me to get the quarantine folders to work properly.  This problem didn't start until I have added Mail watch into the mix, and I am trying to figure out what I messed up lol.  Here is the site that I followed to set up mail watch http://mailwatch.sourceforge.net/doku.php?id=mailwatch:documentation:install If you know of a better one I would be willing to wipe this and start over but I don't think that it will need that

Have you added a -U to the top line of the main mailscanner script?

I found a similar problem in the same environment with a lot of emails claiming to kill mailscanner and it turned out to be a taint issue.

Subject: MailWatch / MailScanner issue
I am running Mail Scanner 4.84.5 with postfix, spam assassin and clamd.  Everything was working fine until I added Mail watch.  I followed the mail watch install guide that I found online and changed the permissions that is instructed.  My problem is that when I send out a test e-mail it gets stuck in the postfix/hold folder and Processing causing a looping error that just sends me e-mails to quarantine stating that the e-mail has been moved there due to it attempting to kill Mail Scanner, which causes another e-mail to go out to alert me (postmaster) which gets stuck and the process is repeated.  This is a test box so has luck has it I have not messed up a live environment but I am wanting to set this up so that it will be easier for us to view the quarantine e-mails and release any back to the end user.  I know that mail watch and mail scanner are supposed to work very well together and I am almost certain that it is a permission issue somewhere.  Can anyone offer a suggestion or maybe a better forum for me to post to get this problem solved?
