I confirmed that running "MailScanner --lint" as user postfix (which it
should, according to my configuration) doesn't give that error. I set
postfix' shell to /bin/bash and ran
su -c "MailScanner --lint" postfix
successfully.
The fix posted in that forum post (adding -c ${user} to the start-stop-
daemon command) may work, but it's not the way it should (for one, my
working Debian install doesn't have this). Apparently, MailScanner
doesn't set its run-as user properly, even though ps axu shows:
