suspect that you need to add postfix to the 'www' group otherwise a process
running as 'postfix' won't be able to chown a file or directory to that
group.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Mailscanner quarantine permissions for Mailwatch<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=984320815-05042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think this is
more a mailscanner issue than mailwatch hence the posting here. I am having
trouble getting mailscanner to save files in /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine
with the correct user:group. In /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf I have
set:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=984320815-05042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>However when I run
MailScanner it always saves files into the quarantine dir owed by
postfix:postfix. I am running Mailscanner V 4.28.6, Suse 8.1 and
Postfix.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=984320815-05042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>In
MailScanner.conf it does say that it may not be able to chown to another user
if it is not run as root. Are there any problems running MailScanner as root?
I generally do not like running services as root and if I can chown a file
quite happily using the postfix user why cant Mailscanner?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
