You lost me on "logged in as postfix" ...

# grep postfix /etc/passwd
postfix:x:89:89::/var/spool/postfix:/sbin/nologin

The above is from the new RHEL gateway.

All our older Ubuntu gateways are ...
# grep postfix /etc/passwd
postfix:x:108:116::/var/spool/postfix:/bin/false

I never considered that

Run As User = postfix
Run As Group = postfix

actually required the postfix account to support being "logged into".

Do you mean sudo -u postfix MailScanner ...  ?

If I do "sudo -u postfix MailScanner --lint" both this new and the older
gateways (which have been working for years) fail but fail differently
(different versions of MailScanner as well).

How do I "run the problem message through a debug session"?
In the man pages and in the book I have failed to see how to do that.
