Single email, multiple Spamassassin attempls

[Richard Mealing]

Robert,

You need to change user to postfix, so - su postfix

For Ubuntu, I would normally 'su' to root first, then - su postfix
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/man1/su.1.html


Thanks,

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.
