Hi There, since last night update my EFA is not processing email anymore, in the logs I see:
Connected to SpamAssassin cache database
Feb 26 12:47:28 efamailscanner MailScanner[19252]: Enabling SpamAssassin auto-whitelist functionality...
Feb 26 12:47:31 efamailscanner MailScanner[19215]: /var/spool/MailScanner/milterout is not owned by user 89 !

milterin and milterout folders has root:mtagroup 0775 and this was changed last night during the Efa auto update

can someone tell me what is the correct ownership and why was it broken?
Updating info:
MailScanner noarch 5.4.4-1.eFa.el7 eFa4 601 k
eFa noarch 1:4.0.4-27.eFa.el7 eFa4 121 k

Correct ownership:

Code: Select all

sudo chown postfix /var/spool/MailScanner/{milterin,milterout}
I'm taking a look into why that didn't get set during the update.

The update should have set that ownership, can you do me a favor and take a look at /var/log/eFa/update.log and tell me if anything is there that might give us some insight?
