<postfix at corp.domain.com>: maildir delivery failed: create
	/var/spool/postfix/.mail/tmp/1097172084.4530_0.gandalf: Permission Denied

I am using postfix / dovecot, and the clients will be MS WinXP Pro 
(using roaming profiles, stored in the ~/.profile directory).  Their 
maildir is set to be ~/.mail (i.e. everything will 'live' in /home). 
Postfix (without amavisd-new) works fine, as does dovecot.  I'm going 
through the docs now to try to find what is telling it to use 
/var/spool/postfix/.mail/tmp for anything, but I've not been able to 
yet.  Any ideas?

&gt; Don't do that.
&gt; 
&gt; Unfortunately, the author of MailScanner doesn't make it clear on his web
&gt; site that use of MailScanner with Postfix is unsupported by the Postfix
&gt; developers. MailScanner directly manipulates Postfix queue files in ways
&gt; that are unsafe instead of using the documented safe APIs, leading to lost
&gt; mail / duplicate mail.
&gt; 
&gt; Use amavisd-new instead. &lt;<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/";>http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/</a>&gt;
