mailscanner can't read files

Insufficient permissions, e.g. in MailScanner.conf ('Run as user', 'Run as group' -- with Sendmail these should not be set). Wrong permissions on incoming mail queue. There are also specific permissions for e.g. ClamAV ('Incoming Work User', 'Incoming Work Group'). Cross-check your MailScanner.conf settings and directory permissions, watch maillog, etc.
 
I don't use Postfix. Like I said, check your queue permissions against the config settings and see if they match.

Done but I still get the same errors. Here it is:

Sorry I didn't post this before, I wasn't at my server that time... Thanks for the reply... =)
 
Simply 'touch' the files that do not exist, or copy/rename the .sample files in /usr/local/share/MailScanner/reports/en/

It has nothing to do with permissions.
