Check which user and group you are running under. Also check the permissions. I personally like to create a group called mtagroup and add postfix, clamav, and whatever other users to it. I then use that group in MailScanner with group write permissions. Eliminates the permission issues.

Generally, the system is working, but I'm still getting much more spam than I should be.  Reviewing the logs, I can see that I'm getting relatively low spam scores even on what I'd consider obvious spam emails.

I guess it was removed from the repository because it's non-free?  Pyzor and Razor are installed, and somehow, I think I have Razor working, at least based on the fact that I see log entries like this one:
