storing messages - recap...

[Jerry Benton]

These are the primary things I check for when dealing with this problem:

1. Selinux. Put in permissive and then build custom policies. Return to
enforcing.
2. MailScanner Run As and directory ownership and permissions.
3. MailScanner store messages as user matches permissions.
4. Making sure you add the -U option to MailScanner for the newer versions
of perl.

sed -i 's:#!/usr/bin/perl -I:#!/usr/bin/perl -U -I:g' /usr/sbin/MailScanner

Also regarding permissions, I personally like to create an extra group and
then add postfix and clamav to that group. I then use that group in all
settings and use group writeable permissions. (0660)

YMMV

PS..  run MailScanner --lint and post here if the above does not help.
