I've followed all the instruction on this site and I am noticing an error when starting the MailScanner service: [root@jhb ~]# /sbin/service MailScanner start Starting MailScanner daemons: incoming postfix: [ OK ] outgoing postfix: [ OK ] MailScanner: chown: missing operand after `postfix' Try `chown --help' for more information. [ OK ] I'm not sure if the above error is related to my problem, but I am battling to get procmail to filter spam from Spamassasin and place the spam into a specific mailbox for us to review if need be. The current config works fine as mail is passing through the server currently and spam email are being flagged as {spam} when the user receives it. The problem comes in when I enable the; mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -a "$EXTENSION" line within the Postfix main.cf file in order to get Procmail active within Postfix. The symptom is that all the mail gets held up within the Postfix mail queue. Nothing is reported in the maillogs... Please assist if possible or let me know what more info you may require. Thanks for the great site! Makes it easier for us MS guys to start seeing the brighter side of life out there! Hi Guys,

Need some help pls (new to linux).
I’ve followed all the instruction on this site and I am noticing an error when starting the MailScanner service:

[root@jhb ~]# /sbin/service MailScanner start
Starting MailScanner daemons:
incoming postfix: [ OK ]
outgoing postfix: [ OK ]
MailScanner: chown: missing operand after `postfix’
Try `chown –help’ for more information.
[ OK ]

I’m not sure if the above error is related to my problem, but I am battling to get procmail to filter spam from Spamassasin and place the spam into a specific mailbox for us to review if need be. The current config works fine as mail is passing through the server currently and spam email are being flagged as {spam} when the user receives it. The problem comes in when I enable the;
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -a “$EXTENSION”
line within the Postfix main.cf file in order to get Procmail active within Postfix. The symptom is that all the mail gets held up within the Postfix mail queue. Nothing is reported in the maillogs…
Please assist if possible or let me know what more info you may require.
Thanks for the great site! Makes it easier for us MS guys to start seeing the brighter side of life out there!

I've updated the text so the commands should work even if /sbin is not in the PATH environment variable. You’re right, thanks.

It's not part of the default PATH. The service command is there in Centos 5, but you have to look in /sbin. It’s not part of the default PATH.

You can definitely use the commands above via ssh. If that’s the case, it probably means Dovecot is not installed. You can definitely use the commands above via ssh.
