Re: Qmail-Scanner Working Directory Overfloweth

The permissions of the files in the working/new directory are:

-rw------- 1 qscand nofiles 874 Dec  5 14:45 ark119690195249426093

I take it back, there are not thousands of files in there, there are
HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of files in there. Holy... is right.

Help!

Matt

'working' should never have anything left behind.  That smacks of a 
permissions issue problem.  The files are created, read, and used, but 
can't be deleted.

what are the permissions and ownerships of the files in /working, as 
well as the main /qmailscan folder?
