I have noticed this bug[1] myself some days ago while trying to package 4.76.25-1. I have fixed this bug, but have not tested the bugfix yet. Your solution[3] to this problem is not every generic. Users would have to edit /etc/ini.d/mailscanner depending on the mailserver they are using. There is also a problem when using clamavd, it crash and complains about missing permission for lstat on the unpacked mail, no matter how I configure "Incoming Work User/Group/Permission". I currently don't have the time to track down the problem, find a solution and test the -T patch. If anyone else has some spare time, feel free to help out. I have uploaded the current state to mentors[2]. I have added mailscanner-ml to CC because there are probably other debian-users out there... -- Regards Simon Walter [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=+529358 [2] http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=mailscanner [3] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=+529358#10 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
