Thanks John and Sander, very interesting.

I've checked PFDiskStore.pm on a working system(Centos 6.3 with
MailScanner-4.84.5-2 and postfix-2.6.6-2.2.el6_1.x86_64) and compared
it to the same file on my problematic system and the file is the same
so I still can't work out why this hasn't happened to my installs
before, I've also compared the postfix filenames on both systems and
both of them are 11 characters long.

Anyway, thanks for your assistance. What is the danger/harm in running
in non taint mode?

Thanks.

Regards.

Neil Wilson.
