    Thanks Jerry.  I fixed weird permissions on the folder and things
    seem to be behaving now.<br>

      Check which user and group you are running under. Also check the
      permissions. I personally like to create a group called mtagroup
      and add postfix, clamav, and whatever other users to it. I then
      use that group in MailScanner with group write permissions.
      Eliminates the permission issues. <br class="">

                <br class="">
                Apologies if this has been asked before, but while I
                found the list archive, I couldn't find a means to
                search it and considering it goes back many years,
                scanning by hand seemed a bit overwhelming. If there's a
                search capability for it that I've missed, please let me
                know. <br class="">
                <br class="">
                Anyway, I have a new server I've setup to be a spam
                filter gateway. It's a clean install of Debian Jessie
                with MailScanner and Postfix with what I believe to be
                the latest versions.  Generally, the system is working,
                but I'm still getting much more spam than I should be. 
                Reviewing the logs, I can see that I'm getting
                relatively low spam scores even on what I'd consider
                obvious spam emails. <br class="">
                <br class="">
                This lead me down the path of what else could be done
                with spamassassin, which got me to Pyzor, Razor and
                DCC.  At the moment, DCC isn't installed.   I guess it
                was removed from the repository because it's non-free? 
                Pyzor and Razor are installed, and somehow, I think I
                have Razor working, at least based on the fact that I
                see log entries like this one: <br class="">
