Hi,

I am using postfix.  I continuously get this error in
/var/log/mail/warnings.

MailScanner[27173]: ERROR: Unable to create temporary directory.

Browsing different newsgroups I am starting to believe that ClamAV is
causing the problem but I can"t figure out why.  I can"t see any permission
problems.



How about a df ?

cheers,
G.


[root]# df /tmp
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
none                  759M   16K  759M   1% /tmp

[root]# df /etc/MailScanner/
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5 53G 3.0G 48G 6% /
[root]# df /etc/postfix.in/
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5 53G 3.0G 48G 6% /

Also, check out the directory used in /etc/clamav.conf:

TemporaryDirectory /tmp

Here, /tmp is the temp dir used, so the user under which postfix runs should have access to this directory.

What are the ownership and permissions set on the /var/spool/postfix, /var/spool/MailScanner directories? It is worthwhile to check these directories as well.

cheers,
Karthikeyan, S.
