Using MailScanner with Postfix

[Chris Trudeau]

Postfix runs fine for me...strong and I find it easy to
configure/secure...it performs with no problems for me.

One small annoying little bug...is the way that it writes its queue files
the SQL logging functions in MailScanner pickup redundant email addresses in
the to_address field of the logging.

Steve is working on this, but it remains...and causes my SQL queries to be a
little ugly.

Its based on inode number I think, so you have to stay on the same
filesystem and only ever link/unlink files (so they don't move inode).  But
I think thats what MailScanner does anyway isn't it?  (I don't know how
changing the files contents gets round that)
