It's the bit I have left. That's Postfix's header check working, so it's
matching your server's Received: header (including the (Postfix) bit). The
reason why postmaster and local messages are not caught and scanned by
MailScanner (In your instance) is that Postfix adds '(Postfix, user id *)'
to the received header in stead of (Postfix) and therefore this extra
string fails the regexp test and is not held. Postfix indicates why it's
held a message by wrapping the match in ??. Therefore the only way to
release mail and prevent it being re scanned is to use direct queue
submission or whitelist it. You shuld be able to retain your whitelist
files over upgrades, particularly if you change your path to the rule set
directory in MailScanner.conf.
