Thanks to Miguel Koren, Edward Mitchell and Julian Field for your help.
The solution was to put "no" for "Spam checks" (the comment has not the same
effect) and "Deliver In Background = yes" in mailscanner.conf
And now (during 24 hours) the /var/spool/mqueue and /var/spool/mqueue.in are
treated correctly.

Thanks
