<pre wrap=""><!---->Thanks Drew,
Those lines were set at null. i.e. run as user =
So I fixed those, but still no cigar. Incoming mail is not scanned and
not passed on to the outgoing queue and "MailScanner starting" messages
accumulate in the info log.
I noted also that /var/spool/postfix and postfix.in were owned by root.
Tried switching them to postfix ownership too, but no change.

The queue root's should be owned by root and the queue directories
should be owned by postfix:postifx *except* maildrop & public which
should be postfix:maildrop. Don't forget to check quarantine and the
MailScanner 'work' directory.<br>
<br>
Try stopping every thing and just start the services one at a time, so <br>
#postfix -C /etc/postfix start<br>
#postfix -C /etc/postfix.in start<br>
then MailScanner (/opt/MailScanner/bin/check_mailscanner?)<br>
<br>
Check the logs on the way. This should give some clues as to where the
process is failing.<br>
