SpamSnake's MailScanner

[cjc81]

I'm getting this error showing up in the log file.

MailScanner[16143]: /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/16143/./ECD0128618F00.B8381/msg-16143-2.html: Unable to create temporary directory

The following is output of ls -al /var/spool/MailScanner

root@notgamble:/var/spool/MailScanner# ls -al

Any idea?

Seems like mailscanner is creating the directories without giving itself enough permissions to read it.

What's the output of ls -la /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/16143/./ECD0128618F00.B8381/?

Have you finished the complete setup? If not, what step are you on?
