well, before I went through the logs, I decided to upgrade from 1.16 -> 1.20

I am running into some issues though:

 setting UID to EUID so subprocesses can access files generated by this script
Thu, 04 Dec 2003 12:45:07 -0600:16894: program name is qmail-queue, version 1.20
Thu, 04 Dec 2003 12:45:07 -0600:16894: incoming SMTP connection from via SMTP from 
68.166.242.91
Thu, 04 Dec 2003 12:45:07 -0600:16894: w_c: mkdir 
/var/spool/qmailscan/tmp/prupref-mailgate107056350746116894
04/12/2003 12:45:07:16894: error_condition: X-Qmail-Scanner-1.20: 
prupref-mailgate107056350746116894 exists - try again later...


I set all the permissions on the directories, etc.

any suggestions?
