permissions and ownership of /var/spool/incoming

[Kevin Miller]

On both my SLES and CentOS boxes running MailScanner an clamAV the user is clamav not clam.  Double check the name of the account that clamav is actually running as.  It can vary from distribution to distribution...

Hi all,
I never have any issues with Mailscanner the thing just works and works well.
But when it comes to new installs that when you'll see me post here.
I'm running a shiny new CentOS 6.4 box with postfix.
I've tried everything but still getting error below when running MailScanner --lint.
Could not open file >/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/2614/1.header: 
Permission denied
Cannot create + lock headers file
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/2614/1.header, Permission denied at /usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Message.pm line 523 I set the permissions and ownership to:
chown -R postfix.clam *
chmod -R 750 *
But Mailscanner sets the permissions to clam.root Thanks in advance Dan
