    Issue with perl scanner

    Hi All,

    I have setup qmail in one of our servers and configured qmail scanner (I am using Spamassassin, Clamd and Perl scanner) for Spam/ Virus searching. It was working fine till last week, but now qmail scanner is not working and not receiving any mails if Perl scanner is enabled.

    Error received in the log is shown below.

    "Mon, 04 Apr 2011 23:02:41 EDT:22417: error_condition: X-Antivirus-mydomain.com-2.08st: cannot open dir /var/spool/qscan/tmp/my.domain.com6179022417/ - Permission denied"

    I've reinstalled qmailscanner, perl modules, maildrop but it didn't made any difference. If I am disabling perlscanner everything is working fine. I've disabled all perl scanner policies but the issue persists.

    Does anyone have any idea to resolve this issue.

    Thanks in Advance.

    Regards,
    Riyad

    what userID does perlscanner run as (if you don't know, start it up, and run `ps aux | grep -i perl` and try to find which it is, first column is userID.)

    what are the permissions of
    /var/spool/qscan/tmp/my.domain.com6179022417 ??

    `ls -ld /var/spool/qscan/tmp/my.domain.com6179022417`
    New to the internet, technical forums, or the hacker / open source community??
