Hi
I've upgraded from mailscanner 4.85 to 5.03 and I think I need some help 
with getting things going after the upgrade. I'm running postfix so I 
have got things set up as per instruktions on 
https://www.mailscanner.info/postfix/. After the upgrade I got 
permissions problems, so now I've changed "Run As Group" to mtagroup and 
"Incoming Work Permissions" to 0660 which made all errors go away and a 
check with --lint returns all fine. Now it seems though that MailScanner 
processes the same messages again and again, like it's stuck in a loop, 
see log snippet below. The messages seem to stay in postfix's hold queue.

Since I don't get any errors I don't really where to continue looking. 
Anyone see anything obvious?

I'm using MailWatch, Debian 8.6 and postfix 2.11.3.
