A very vague thought about how MailScanner would fit into a Postfix setup
from someone who knows almost nothing about Postfix: Since all messages
in Postfix go through the cleanup process before they get to the main
queue, and since the cleanup process is not a million miles away from
a kind of MailScanner-lite, perhaps that's where MailScanner should plug
in to Postfix.
