Mail stuck in /var/spool/postfix/hold

[Remco Barendse]

I did complete 'from scratch' install, again permissions problem

/var/spool/MailScanner/archive was created with
4 drwxrwxr-x 2 mail mtagroup 4096 Jun 21 13:52 archive/

And MailScanner would not write an archive copy of the email there 
but..... also does not complain that writing of the archive copy failed.

After changing perms to postfix:postfix it works as excpected.

Guess this is somethig to be be fixed as other people using the 
archive function will run into it as well :)
