For me it looks like mailq can not handle both directories created by  MailScanner in postfix  hold ->32451 and 32417 --> MailScanner[32417]: Using locktype = flock

May I am wrong ?

It looks like that MailScanner creates both files in the hold queue<http://dict.leo.org/ende/index_en.html#/search=queue&searchLoc=0&resultOrder=basic&multiwordShowSingle=on> each per child after stopping both are disappeared by stopping the MailScanner Service

Never seen that before … is this supposed to do to create an separate folder each per child in hold?

Thank you.

Your permissions in MailScanner.conf should also be 0660. You may also have to manually remove the offending file or directory that is hanging up MailScanner.

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.

By running the mailq command I get those errors?

An postfix reload removes both files and then I get the next error …

Did somebody get the same result – or my configuration is wrong may there is a way to suppress the showq warnings?
