Ugh. Mailscanner is known to be unsafe with Postfix and can cause mail
loss. Use amavisd-new instead.

That was a while back- the Mailscanner folks have changed to implement
things in the way Wieste suggested, and it now uses a hold queue to do
processing.  Unless i've missed something in the meantime, it looks to be
fully functional with Postfix now.

The problem with mailscanner is that it directly touches Postfix queue
files, rather than using a standard Postfix supplied interface. The
queue file format is liable to change without notice, and that is when
mailscanner breaks.

Wedding my scanner to my MTA version is not exactly what I would want to do.
