I've moved the 2176 msgs back to scan and set them to postfix:wheel,
but there they sit. What now?
Do:
# script
# strace /some/where/master -dv; exit
and see what happens.
I stopped postfix and ran the above.
Um, you already had it running?
I did say "fixed by running postfix-install", wasn't clear that postfix-install
fixed postfix fail-to-run problem.
fsck or whatever Linux RH does to fix filesystems apparently converted "private/scan="
socket to "private/scan" dir, into which we got 2176 Maildir files as orphans.
no suggestions how to deliver these orpan Maildir msgs?

So the filesystem has been repaired and you have these odd files laying
around. I have not heard fsck change things as you mentioned and mostly
look in lost+found to recover files and I do not have the scan socket on
my system.
Why not read those files and resend them? However you want to do that is
up to you but I would script it if possible. I am curious as to what the
file contents are exactly. If they are emails such as you would find in
Maildir directories, then the solution would be easy.
