Problem is solved. Turned out to be a permissions problem on the mail spool directory. Now all I have to do is work out how to integrate postfix and spamassassin and clamAV on *this* system. Yes, I know there are loads of howto's around, but they expect you to be setting up a system from scratch. This server is a running server, and I cannot take it out of service too long! I have Spamassassin working fine from a system-wide procmail script which looks like: /usr/bin/spamc | sendmail (parameters) Any ideas anyone? TD
