This is my first attempt with both ubuntu and mailscanner.

Did a clean install of ubuntu server 16.04

downloaded and ran the mailscanner-5.0.2 install.sh

Did a basic configuration of MailScanner.

Ran MailScanner --lint

Got the following errors (permissions?).  User is postfix and group is 
mtagroup as set by the install script and configuration settings.  Do I 
need to do anything with apparmor?

Checking version numbers...
Version number in MailScanner.conf (5.0.2) is correct.

Your envelope_sender_header in spamassassin.conf is correct.
Cannot create temporary Work Dir /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/1343. 
Are the permissions and ownership of /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming 
correct? at /usr/share/MailScanner/perl/MailScanner/WorkArea.pm line 147.
