mailscanner 4.2x and postfix 2.0.14 do play well together

[Samuel Luxford-Watts]

I am running MS 2.44 with Postfix 2.0.13 on SuSE 8.1 and all is working fine
(although postdrop doesn't work when trying to re-inject quarantined
messages, but file copying does!)

Hi James,

I run MailScanner 4.22 with Postfix 2.0.14.
All work fine.
