Couple of issues...

I noticed a couple of issues on my MailScanner boxes:
1:  Old directories in /var/spool/MailScanner/Incoming:

root at mx2:/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming# l
total 252
drwxrwx--- 2 postfix  mtagroup     40 Jun 22  2018 10064

Shouldn't these be auto-deleted?  I presume I can manually delete them if they're empty, yes?

2:  I just ran MailScanner --lint which output the following:
MailScanner.conf says "Virus Scanners = sophos clamd"
mktemp: failed to create directory via template '/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/clamav-tmp/tmp.XXXXXXXXXX': Permission denied
Found these virus scanners installed: clamd, sophos
===========================================================================

Virus and Content Scanning: Starting

Virus Scanning: Sophos found 1 infections

Virus Scanning: Clamd found 1 infections
Infected message 1 came from 10.1.1.1
Infected message var came from 
Virus Scanning: Found 2 viruses
===========================================================================
Virus Scanner test reports:
Clamd said "eicar.com was infected: Eicar-Test-Signature"

It seems that clam-av is catching the infection, despite the clamav-tmp directory being inaccessible but I suspect there could be some other issues that could arise that I'm not seeing in a simple lint test.

Also, this is puzzeling:
	Other Checks: Found 1 problems
What other check and what's the problem?

I'm running both Sophos and clamav (clamd).
Permisson on /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/clamav-tmp are:
	drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data    40 Aug 10  2018 clamav-tmp

What should the owner.group and perms be on that directory?
