Rick,

Again it's ownership issue. Make sure postfix owns:

ls -l /var/spool/MailScanner

drwxr-xr-x.  2 root    root     4096 Jan 27  2019 archive
drwxrwx---  47 postfix mtagroup  980 Aug 25 21:50 incoming
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root    root     4096 Jan 27  2019 milterin
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root    root     4096 Jan 27  2019 milterout
drwxr-xr-x. 34 postfix mtagroup 4096 Aug 25 03:23 quarantine
drwxrwx---. 37 postfix mtagroup 4096 Aug 24 03:14 ramdisk_store
drwxr-xr-x.  2 postfix root     4096 Oct 15  2018 spamassassin
