Testing V 4.85.2 postfix/showq[31416]: warning: hold/3519: uid 89: not a regular file

[Jerry Benton]

Probably permissions. Fix them on those directories and then remove your Processing.db file from /var/spool/MailScanner. (Make sure you stop MailScanner first.) 

chmod g+w /var/spool/MailScanner/*
chmod 0775 /var/spool/postfix/hold

I would suggest creating a group that has clamav and postfix as members and use that in your MailScanner settings. This prevents a lot of permissions issues. I use a group called mtagroup. 

groupadd mtagroup
usermod -a -G mtagroup postfix
usermod -a -G mtagroup clamav
usermod -a -G mtagroup clam

(either clam or clamav depending on your distro and clam version)


chown postfix:mtagroup /var/spool/MailScanner
chown postfix:mtagroup /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming
chown postfix:mtagroup /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine
chown postfix.mtagroup /var/spool/MailScanner/spamassassin
chown postfix:mtagroup /var/spool/postfix
chown postfix:mtagroup /var/spool/postfix/incoming
chown postfix:mtagroup /var/spool/postfix/hold


Start MailScanner running again.
