Ok, I've tried for about 7 hours to get the above combination to work. I've
been successful with the first two. My box sends e-mail with Postfix just
fine, I've even have it so it relay's to my Exchange box. So far so good.
But I can't get MailScanner to check any of the mails. Here is a piece of
the maillog.

As you can see MailScanner is running, and Postfix properly picks up and
delivers the e-mail. But MailScanner never touches it.
I followed the following websites direction to setup Postfix and
MailScanner:
MailScanner Install:
http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/install/mailscanner.shtml
MailScanner with Postfix Configuration:
http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/install/postfix.shtml
So my question is this: What have I got screwed to cause this kind of
behavior?
As of right now, I've just got MailScanner and Postfix installed. Once I
get the scanning taking place - i.e. I get a "Scanned" added to the subject
line of my e-mails - I'm going to add SpamAssassin and ClamAV to the mix.
If there are additional pieces of information needed, just let me know.
I'll pass that along as I can.
