Warning: skipping message as it has been attempted too many times

[Mark Meelhuysen]

Indeed, the directory failed to be created again last night.
The owner of the quarantinedirectory is root with group apache.
The owner of all subdirs is postfix with group apache. Security is 770.
MailScanner.conf settings:
Run As User = postfix
Run As Group = postfix
Is it ok then that the dirs. Have group apache?
Is there some logging where the error is logged when the system was not able to create the quarantine directory?

Thank you in advance.

Mark

The problem probably will recur. Mailscanner creates the yyyymmdd directories each day, but for some reason wasn't able to last night and probably won't be able to tonight for the same reason.

Normally, the directory and subordinates are created/written by MailScanner's 'Run As User' which needs read, write and search permission on /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/. This will be the user that owns the /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/* directories. If it has permission, it could be a SELinux issue.
